What are your favorite K3 and KX3 macros?

[Hajo Dezelski]

Hi,

Although I have done my share in programming and have studied the
programmers reference manual and have played with the macro examples, I
must confess, that I am sometimes lost.  I looked up the net and found some
interesting solutions, which only could be programmed if you really know
how things play together in the Elecraft rigs.

I have learned that the need for K3 owners to program macros is not so high
on the priority list for the UI is nearly complete, but for us "poor" Kx3
and Px3 hams without the in-depth knowledge it would be great, if we could
manage with the push of a button to let the Kx3 perform some somersaults
;-))

So if someone would open his bag of tricks concerning macros ... You are
welcome.

Hi,
I have a few macros here...

http://nk7z.net/wiki/elecraft-k3-macros/

Some I have gotten off the mail lists, and some I have built...  This is
my Wiki for the K3.  I just began adding to it a few months ago...

Hajo,

I like your macro. I didn’t realize how poor the band conditions were until I tried to check into a state-wide 75 m net last night.

Here are the two things I have programmed in my KX3 at the moment:

PF1 - (Macro 1) MD3;SWT25;SWT25;FT1;SB1;UPB4;MN142;MP001;MN110;SWT27;SWH18;MN255;
(Macro 2) SB0;FR0;MN142;MP000;MN110;SWT19;SWH18;MN255;

PF2 - Turns on and off my ATU.

PF1 looks more complicated than it is. As it is written, Macro 1 puts the KX3 into CW mode, puts the radio into split mode and moves the transmit frequency up 1 kHz (UP 1).

Macro 1 goes into the Macro 1 slot in the KX3 program and Macro 2 goes into the Macro 2 slot. Macro 1 will load on the first long press of the PF1 button and pre-stage Macro 2. The second long press will execute Macro 2. It can be configured with different modes, power settings, split settings, etc.

73,
Joel - W4JBB

I use the standard SPLIT+1, NORMAL, SPLIT+5 pairing on the K3S PF Keys
where each macro sets up the "unset" version. But I also use the K3
Utility macros to DISPLAY values when I'm troubleshooting, since I
execute them directly from the Utility at that time.  73, Byron

The K3 macro I use the most is "Speakers on/off" for whenever I want to use headphones. See macro 3 here: http://la3za.blogspot.no/2013/12/clever-k3-macro-trick.html

[Hajo Dezelski]

Hi,

thanks for all who responded. Together with the macros from Andrea
IU4APC "Kx3 KeyUp" I have enough material to select the macros I need and
can develop some of my own ... If there is one missing.

You don't need to use a macro for SPKR + PH.  You can just go to the SPKR +
PH menu entry, then hold PF1.   From then on PF1 toggles SPKR + PH.

with the added PX3 macro (and text) capability, I have added the
following to my PX3.
