All this discussion on macros is very good, but what I'd really like
is some more programable function keys.
I don't want to use Mx keys, because I want them for recorded
messages. That leaves just PFx keys.
I did post over a year ago on the possibility of allowing us to have
to banks of
This is already on the list. The CONFIG:MACRO X menu entry will have X
values of 1-8 and '#'. If you assign MACRO X to a switch, it will
prompt for 1-8 when you use it, giving you access to up to eight
macros with one switch.

that sounds like a good solution Wayne - thanks.

Hmmm which computer?
There are lots of programs out there now to control a K3 and on Wintel/
Mac/Linux etc.

Quite. I believe my K3 will remain a macro free zone. Can't see
the point.

I think the ideas for all the additional Macro memories are great,

This will be a mind blower! Knowing which key each of the N * 8
functions is under what key will require more brain RAM here.
Does open the opportunity for toggles though.
I recall the first keyboard which had some unlabeled keys.
What they did was always a question.

The main application I had in mind for this was various splits. The
macros would all be the same, but VFO B might be moved up 1 kHz by
doing PF1+1, up 2 with PF1+2, etc.

There were rumors that there would be some PF keys on the upcoming
panadapter, perhaps supported with programmable legends on the screen. We
can hope. No guarantees,

this is a case of 'less is more' for me. I just don' like magic

Macros requiring multiple key-presses will be fine for some functions,
but please let's remember that
Grant,
You are so correct.
Let me ask a rhetorical question here - How many people remember what
the 12 function keys on the computer keyboard are for in each and every
application they run? I certainly don't. It is easier for me to just

I have labeled keys on my keyboard for shortcuts, but then I'd have to look
at it. I don't use them either. Oh and I have 5 unlabeled ones that I
programmed and darned if I can remember.
