The "DELAY" is not really needed. From what Wayne says if used on RS232 it will cause a delay as it just gets characters that do nothing. I don't know if it provides much delay if the macro is run internally.
It looks like the MACRO X command MN110 was just added at this change if I read the changelog correctly: E6, 2-26-2013 [K3, rev 4.62; KX3, rev 1.38] [KX3] Added MACRO menu function to MN table. This would not be possible without that. So, my macros are now: RAGCHEW TE+06+06+00-06+00+04+08+12;**MN110;SWT27;SWH18;MN255; DX TE+00+00+00-06+00+04+08+12;**MN110;SWT20;SWH18;MN255; VERY DX TE-06-06+00-06+00+04+08+12;**MN110;SWT28;SWH18;MN255; FLAT TE+00+00+00+00+00+00+00+00;**MN110;SWT19;SWH18;MN255; and they seem to work the same. The macro name shows for long enough to read it. Mark On Sun, Mar 3, 2013 at 7:40 PM, Wayne Burdick <n...@elecraft.com> wrote: > Great, Jim.
