band stack macro programming

[Elecraft mailing list]

Hi All
Does anybody have a working bandstack macro instruction, howto program macros to do banstacking? (e.g CW/RTTY/SSB) some sort of step by step or "easy to use". I've been using my k3 for couple of years but never been deep into "macro" programming...shame on meNow before getting deep into study (going back to school/manuals) maybe someone already done it before and help "lazy me". Any useful macros are more than welcome
Tnx for hints

Daniel,

I am not going to answer your question because I have no answers about
macros.
However, I can offer you an alternative that I find useful.
First, I have programmed the first 10 K3 memory locations with "Quick
Memories", so I do not have to use the band up/down buttons - just tap
M>V and then one of the number buttons to switch to the last used
frequency on a band.

Then I have programmed memories for the M1-M3 buttons on each band. M1
takes me to the center of my operating range for CW, M2 for DATA modes,
and M3 for SSB.
I reserve M4 for saving any frequency/mode of interest on that band - a
double tap of the V>M button followed by a tap of the M4 button will
save any frequency/mode of interest so I can return to it with a tap of
the M>V button followed by a tap of the M4 button.

I know that is not exactly what you asked, but it works for the way I
operate.

Thanks Don,
This is a good workaround solution and avoid macro programming. I think for the moment I'll go with non-macro solution until I get more study :-) in programming
