I configured my K3's RIT button (push hold) to engage split with the VFO B freq 5kHz up from VFO A, and the XIT button (push hold) to clear split.
For split the macros I put together are: SWT13; SWT13; FT1; UPB7; RT0; XT0 For clear split the macros are: FT0; RT0; XT0; LN0; SW000 Hope this helps, Harry WE1X Feb 12, 2011 10:55:08 PM, [email protected] wrote: =========================================== K8AC wrote: > >How about just making the SPLIT button one that can be programmed via >macros.

The macro facility is one of the very best features of the K3, but it has caused some problems of its own. The existing programmable keys can become heavily over-used, because all of them serve other functions as well, while keys like SPLIT that have been replaced become idle. While we're looking around for under-used keys, there must be many KRX3 owners who don't use the REV button any more. A further option[1] could therefore be to redefine (tap REV) and (hold REV) as two more programmable keys. [1] "Option" is the key word here. The reason for requesting these enhancements as config options is so that the default SPLIT and REV functions can remain exactly as they are now. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
