Bill: I attempted in the K3 Utility Help to describe how to use the K3 Utility Help to enter macros, but the commands are documented in the K3 Programmer's Reference. There are a couple of places where the K3 Programmer's Reference is mentioned I would have hyperlinked it from the Help Text, but the name of the file changes with each revision. The current version is located at http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3_Pgmrs_Reference_Rev_C14.pdf
The K3 Programmer's Reference commands you need to turn APF on and off are a switch emulation command, in this case SWH29; listed as "Dual PB" on page 17 of the current K3 Programmer's Reference. This is a toggle, if you Hold the Dual PB button once, APF will be turned on (at least in CW mode it will). If you hold it again, it'll be turned off. Turning RIT on and off can be accomplished as a toggle by tapping the RIT button (SWT45;), which would change RIT on and off with each successive button press, or by a command specifically designed to turn the RIT on and off (RT0; and RT1;). The K3 Utility Help does have step by step instructions on how to use the K3 Utility to get macros into the radio, but it doesn't duplicate the entire K3 Programmer's Reference, which is frequently enhanced as new commands are introduced. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2010 5:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] Macro generation I am totally confused on generating a macro, and the more I read on the Utility Help page, the more confused I get. Evidently, there is somewhere a list of what are called "K3 Commands" which when strung together form a custom macro. But where is the list of such commands? Can anyone who is more familiar with this than I am give me a step by step tutorial on how to create and implant in my K3 at location PF1, a macro that will turn on the APF and the RIT??? ( I am assuming this macro will turn off if the PF1 is pushed a second time---or is that a bad assumption?) Gee it is tough to have spent your whole career in aerospace electronics and find yourself completely out-of-date after being retired for 17 years.
