Memory key pad

[Doug Turnbull]

Gentlemen,

 

The macro key pad sounds useful but a simple box replicating the five/seven
button memory switches would be useful for contesting and general operating
I love the built in DVK and Morse memory.   Whatever happens the memory
switches should be so located as to be easy to find in the heat of a
contest.  I believe this may be on the to do list so it may yet happen.
Meanwhile I do not wish this to be taken as a complaint as I can hardly
believe what the Elecraft people are doing for us in upgrading the K3 and
just hope it lasts.   Thank you for such a fine radio.

This is probably all redundant on macros through the Utility.  I haven't
(don't tell anybody) used the macros yet so am not familiar with their use
during battle.

Do I have to have the Utility up and visible all the time or does it just
"install" the macro on your selected key and then you use that key?

Either or both.  I assign my 2 most frequently used macros ("massive split pileup" and "return to diversity") to PF1 and PF2, but you can assign others to other keys or use the Utility as well.
