Macro for Power Output
Locked
 
|
I have not studied the issue in depth if it can be done, but is there a way to set a macro to step through power settings on the K3 like between 100 watts and 35 watts. Or a macro that sets 25 - 50 - 75 - 100 watts? Lee - K0WA In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine? Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind. - John W.

Lee,
The PC command is both a GET and SET command (see Programmer's reference for syntax), so yes macros can be created to set the power. A process where the "nnn" value would be varied requires some "smarts" in the device sending the macro, Note that the number in the "nnn" value is dependent on the power range, so additional commands may be necessary. It really sounds like you want more computation than is afforded by only a macro. i.e. Find the power range, change it if required, compute the correct value for "nnn", and then send the PCnnn command. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/12/2011 8:43 AM, Lee Buller wrote: > I have not studied the issue in depth if it can be done, but is there a way to > set a macro to step through power settings on the K3 like between 100 watts and > 35 watts.

At least one logging package, DXLab, provides the necessary conditional statements that allow you to build scripts attached to buttons or sliders that can accomplish this. For example, I have one button that appears in the "Commander" (the DXLab application that does PC to K3 communications) window that reads the band the K3 is set to and then sets the power out to the value that produces just under the legal limit for my amp on that band. Using the same facility, you could define a "slider" control that would increment or decrement the power level by a fixed value each time it was moused. Or, you could drag the slider to set any desired power level. Since standard K3 commands are used, when the power level is changed via one of these controls, the new power level is displayed on the VFO-B section of the display just as if you had turned the PWR knob.

What is the K3 macro command set for setting power?
I would think if I had that info I could also build a macro in HRD.

It's the PC command. See the K3 Programmer's Reference. PC005; should set
it to 5 watts, PC050; to 50, etc. Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of [hidden email] Sent: Saturday, March 12, 2011 11:10 AM To: K8AC Cc: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Macro for Power Output What is the K3 macro command set for setting power?
