KX3 Macros commands

JandG
Hi all,

Just been playing with commands for the KX3 and found that when using the KX3 Utility on my MacBook Pro, that some commands don’t get a return.
For example: PO; always returns P0000 despite that the power has been set at 10W.
There are others as well which do not return anything after issuing a command to the KX3.

I am only just starting to look into the possibilities with Macros and I hope to make a Macro which will do (roughly) the following:

1. CW mode
2. set Power 100mW
3. sent message 1
4. Pause 10 seconds
5. set Power 1W
6. sent message 2
7. Pause 10 seconds
8. set Power 5W
9. sent message 3
10. go back to 2 or exit

Not sure if “a Pause can be done”.

Newbie here and just starting, testing and reading up with the KX3 commands.

Cheers
Gerard VK2JNG

Gerard,

The PO; command displays actual output power. It will always respond with PO000; unless you're transmitting. See the PC; command for getting and setting the requested power output level.

At present there is no way to add a long delay to a macro. You could add a series of ;;;;; to add a short delay.

With what other commands are you having a problem?

David, W4SMT
