Macros

Eric -- Take a look at Fred Cady’s recent book on macro programming for the K3, KX3 and KX2.

simple tasks I've been accustomed to with other radios.

The ones that immediately come to mind are
- jump up or down X Khz (2 buttons)
- increase/decrease (or reset to the default) step of the tuning encoder
- switch directly to a specific band instead of having to scroll through
them to get where you want to go (6 buttons).

There are others that I'm sure I'll think of as time moves on.

Thanks & 73,

Re: Macros

Eric,

If you look at:

http://nk7z.net/adding-external-keypad-k3/

You will find a short article on adding a 64 key pad to the K3 for macro
selection. It assumes you have a P3 as well.

About 1/2 way down the post is a down-loadable spread sheet of macros,
they don't give you exactly what you wanted, but they may help in
getting you started in writing macros...

Fred's book is a really useful item to have, as well as Elecraft's P3
Macro programming manual.

73s and thanks,
Dave

Re: Macros

Here's a website that will string together macros based on what you want to
accomplish.
