Macro 101 for DM780

Dear List,

I have figured out how to send some button commands to the K3 from the
radio panel in DM780 which is tied to HRD.

What I do on digital mode is go to my widest filter to find a signal
that I want to work. Then when on it I push the I/II button to go to
filer II where I have a narrow setting to eleminat the side signals.

What I would like to do is built some specfic filter macros in DM780 to
select mutliple filter widths. To take advangate of the DSP ability to
make almost any filter witdh that I want.

Unfortunatly, it apears that my macro ability is equal to a "box of
rocks" . At least I admit it, however once I get it, it sticks.

I did find macros that folks wrote for other radios, but I can not for
the life of me figure out how to modify them for the K3. So I am
looking at other places just with no luck.

So please thanks in advance for the help.

Don

If you bring up the K3 Utility and punch the Help menu, Dick's set up
a very thorough macro help page. It contains many examples, some of
them contributed by the Field Test group.

The part of the Help system you want is called
"Command Tester / K3 Macros".

Might give that a try. It is quite extensive.

Thanks Matt,

I think there is enough info there for me to make the macros that I want
for filter width.

The stuff I read actually made sense to me. Plus examples with well
written explanations help also.

Thanks

Fair enough. Dick D. is a very good writer, and his Help menu has
saved a lot of frustration!
