KX3 macro for less than one watt?

[w7hd]

Is there a programming command to set the KX3 power to less than one watt?
PC001; seems to be the lowest level you can get, according to the
programming guide.
The NAQCC sprints often use power levels that must be less than one
watt, which means a manual setting on the front panel.

I love macros !!!

Hi Ron,

Sending

   K22;PC005;

will set the KX3 to 0.5 watts (for example).

The trick here is using the "K2" meta command, originally written for the K2. The default is K20 mode (no modification of commands). But if you send K22; then some commands will behave differently, including the PC command, which goes from 1-watt increments to 0.1-W increments. K22 mode also adds a 4th digit to the PC command. What this does is left as an exercise for the reader. (See the K3S/K3/KX3 programmer's reference.)
