Macro for Speakers & Mic

This post was updated on .

I use an Icom SM-8 desktop and Yamaha CM500 headset with my K3. I'd like to switch back and forth using some macro keys
- switch mics making sure only one mic is live at a time,
- shut speaker on/off
- set bias as needed
- adjust tx equalizer for the CM500 and then be able to put it back as it was for the SM-8
- adjust mic gain and compression for each

can I do all of this in a macro?
I have no experience using macros on a K3......any help or advice will be appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

Re: Macro for Speakers & Mic

Yes, it can be done. The very first macro I ever did for my K3 was
switching between the front panel mic and speaker to the rear panel
connected CM500.

Unfortunately, I am not at home right now so I can't just go up and
show you the commands but the key to these macros working is that
the settings are reflexive (i.e. switch back and forth).

Re: Macro for Speakers & Mic

Follow up on the comment I made below...

Actually, I remember that I made two macros. This is because I do CW a lot
and I wanted to switch my speaker and CM500 headphones separately from
switching the mics. So, a macro for switching speaker/headphones. And, a
macro for switching front and rear microphones.
