Macro programming for KX3

[geoff allsup]

Been playing with macros a bit and am wondering if there is a command
available to set the Offset/VFO B control to VFO B? Haven't spotted
something like that in the programmer's reference.

Geoff,

Switch 35 Tap will toggle it.  I do not see an explicit command to set
it to VFO B.
You can explicitly set the frequency of VFO B with the FB command.
I do not understand the utility of simply changing the Offset/VFO B
switch if you have to turn the knob.  If it is set incorrectly, just tap
the knob - but then, you have apparently not presented the entire
picture of what you are trying to accomplish via the macro.

I had a quick look at the programmer's reference, and saw some commands:
IC will read the status of the OFS LED
MP can be used to set the VFO OFS menu setting (maybe setting to off and back to on will put the OFS LED in a known state?)
SWT can be used to tap the OFS knob, which will toggle the LED

Maybe if you have a play with these commands you'll find out what is possible.
