clear function from M1-M4 memories

Hi,

Is there a way to clear a function that is unintentionally stored in the M1-M4 memories? I had to use paddle to get my CQ back into M1. Programming with the Elecraft Utility did not work, it only shows the overwritten message.

Re: clear function from M1-M4 memories

Steef:

You should be able to remove a CW message stored in one of the CW message
memories with the K3 Utility.

I just erased one of my messages in M3.

I used the config menu, clicked the "Edit CW Memories" button, positioned
the mouse cursor somewhere in M3, clicked the mouse,
pressed CTRL-A to select all the text, pressed the "Delete" key, and then
clicked the "Save" button.

When I pressed M3 on the K3 front panel, the K3 transmitted nothing and
showed "End" in the VFO B area of the K3 LCD screen.

I opened the K3 Utility Edit CW Memories dialog again, and M3 was empty.

What happens when you do these steps with the memory you'd like erased?

Re: clear function from M1-M4 memories

If I read Steef's question right, it was not about erasing a stored CW
message, but removing a programmable function assignment from one of the
"Mx" buttons. The answer, as provided by KB8AP earlier today, would be
to tap REC, then the "Mx" button in question, then REC again.

By the way, the function isn't stored in the CW memory - it's a button
override in firmware. The CW is still stored in the memory, and you can
regain access to it as above.

I could certainly have misunderstood. Thanks, Ian.
