Hi,
Maybe I am missing something but won't A/B preamp/att on/off A/B work?
This should have no side effects at all. I don't have the subreceiver but
often use split and I do any changes to the B side this way. BSET is another
button I never use.

So, what the K3 really needs then is a contest oriented application on a
computer. Maybe something rich like PowerSDR but works with the K3 in a manner
where contesting features (logging and contest log management) along with
sophisticated macro control from a visual controls perspective.
There are very few things important during a contest that N1MM does not
already do, and the ones that it does not do would be very clumsy on a
screen even if the K3 allowed it.
And I own an iPad, but I cannot think of a less efficient interface for
doing a serious contest.

This might lead to a solution, Knut. The first question is, are there

Tom doesn't really need anything. Guest operators are the real worry.

Hi again,
I did get the latest programmer's reference and see to my surprise that it
is more than a year old and I don't see any sign of an errata addendum. As I
know for sure that there are more recent additions (such as the fine
resolution S-meter request) how do I find the latest information?
I know that but it takes less time to read the programmers guide and
write the macros in AutoHotkey (add CATASC for N1MM to send the
information in the CAT stream) than has been wasted on this topic in
the last two days.
Fine. Some people who use N1MM will get used to that.
Now tell me how
Now tell me how to get it to work for the people who insist on using
CT and want to operate.
Give up on the dinosaur dung, move to Win-Test (which has an interface
identical to CT) and make use of the LUA scripting capability to do the
same thing there.

Right. It is all too cumbersome for a contest change, although the push and
