K3 - macro needed for RX mute

[Bill-3]

I need a toggle style macro to mute/unmute the RX audio on my K3.

When I get a phone call or someone comes in the radio room it is often
necessary that I turn the audio down on the K3. Currently I use a button
for setting AG000 - which effectively kills the RX audio - however, I
must manually reset the audio with the AF gain pot.

It would be much easier to push a toggle for mute and another to push to
return to the original AF gain setting.

I use a Pigknob with programmable buttons for rig control - including VFO.

Note: I feed my speakers from the rear of the K3 and never use phones.

Thanks,

Bill W2BLC K-Line

The AF Gain pot works both ways. It can be used to turn down the gain as well as turn it up.

Bill, I have my PF1 loaded with the following macro:

MN097;DN;MN255;

It toggles SPKR+PH on and off.  I leave headphones plugged in all the time
and usually use them, but you could still use this macro even if you don't
use headphones.

I have a similar macro in DXLab's Commander but I can use PF1 even if I
don't have DXLab running.

I learned from a customer that you can set PF1 to toggle SPKR+PH without a
specific macro:

HOLD MENU for CONFIG, then rotate VFO B to SPKR+PH. Then hold the RIT/PF1
button. That assigns PF1 to toggle the current menu selection.  Exit the
menu, then try HOLDing RIT/PF1 a couple of times.

OK - got it to work. At first I thought it didn't - but I have now
discovered there is a slight delay when toggling OFF. Now that I know
that - all is good.

Thank you,
