Does anyone know how to do this in Win-Test?    

What kind of command string is required to send various CAT commands from Win-Test to K3?

Subject: [Elecraft] TX EQ setting

I have identified an easy way to switch between various TX EQ settings
using N1MM or Logger32 thanks to information kindly supplied by Bill
Coleman N2BC, author of K3_EZ.

The method involves using the macro functions in each program to set
compression and TX EQ bands. For example, flat with no compression in
Logger32 would be
$command cp000;mn008;swt53;mn255;$
which zeroes compression, clears the existing EQ and tidily terminates.

For my DX/Contest setting I use (the space after 'command' may appear as
a line feed):
$command
cp025;mn008;swt53;swt11;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;swt12;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;swt13;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;dn;swt24;dn;dn;dn;dn;mn255;$
which sets CMP to 25, clears the existing EQ and then sets it to -16,
-16, -9, -4 in the first four bands and then exits gracefully.

The N1MM macros need starting with {CAT1ASC instead of $command, then
terminating with } instead of $.
Other EQ settings can be easily set by examining the K3 Programmers
Reference; a macro that needs very many commands may exceed the maximum
length which is 255 in N1MM, unknown for Logger32.
Although the Programmers Reference suggests that successive SWTxxx
commands may need 100msec delay to 'set', these macros work with the COM
port at 38400 without any apparent need for command pacing.

PS I have just read Wayne's mail about keeping EQ settings within ±6dB
so I am about to change the macros after writing this. Perhaps Wayne
will reduce the limits in future firmware?

There are macro programs that can run outside these applications can can take any key sequence and make these changes. The important thing is to not use a key sequence that your logging program is using.

Thank you Peter

I was actually interested in possibility of running KDVR3 Contest Voice messages from Win-Test F(*) keys which appears to be possible from N1MM.

Perhaps this would be a better question for Win-Test authors given the ever growing popularity of the K3.

Sorry, that should be mn009; for TX EQ - mn008; is of course RX EQ.

Can't see a way of doing it in Win-Test, Nick. One of the reasons why I
abandoned my (paid for) Win-Test in favour of N1MM.
