MACROS

[Elecraft mailing list]

I've built countless macros for controlling many things in the K3(s),
P3, and now KPOD, but there is one command that is either lacking or I
can't seem to locate it. Help me here.


I need a "wait" command that would allow the macro title to appear on
the VFO-B display for a defined time limit before extinguishing itself
automatically.  Right now I build macros with many semicolons (;) prior
to a final "MN255;" command, but the macro build limits the macro field
to 120 characters and the resultant display time is too short.

I'd like to see a "WAIT" command that would allow a pause of xxxx
milliseconds before enacting the next command in a macro line.  Now more
than ever, with the KPOD, it would be nice not having to extinguish a
macro name from the VFO-B display without having to touch the radio
front panel.  (WAxxxx;  ?)

I would also like that very much, and for the same reasons...  I use
strings of macros in programming the Genovation keypad, for K3/P3
control, and a WAIT X ms, would be wonderful...
