Voice recorder programming

[Elecraft mailing list]

Is there a way to program the K3 to send the voice messages stored in M1,
M2, M3 and M4 by using the F key functions on the computer keyboard?

Pete,

That would depend on the software you have running on the computer and
its use of the computer keyboard F-keys.

If you can send a command from your software to the K3, then the answer
is YES.  Look in the K3 Programmer's Reference.  You should see the "nn"
codes for the K3 buttons.  SWTnn is a tap, and SWHnn is a hold.
In other words, to send a command to tap the M1 button, the computer
needs to send SWT21; to the K3.

Yes.  You use the F-key definitions to simulate a tap or hold of M1-M4.
There is a matrix in the Software manual that gives the codes for the
various buttons/switches. Loggers differ as to what to put into the
F-key definitions to indicate a command to be sent to the K3.  N1MM+ is
CAT1ASC for radio 1 followed by the K3 switch command.  You'll have to
look them up in your logger's documentation.

One wrinkle to this is that pressing the F-key is a "fire and forget"
operation ... logger sends the command and gets no notice back when the
voice message has completed. For normal usage, it isn't a problem, but
if you are trying to build complex sets of macros, strange things can
happen.  Note also that the syntax of the logger's command and the
command to the K3 involve special characters like colons and semicolons,
and they are essential.

Google something like "K3 n1mm function keys K3DVR", I found a .mc file that works well.
