Hi, Robby. I do it in the K3 Utility (for Tx Gain calibration) with the Menu Select (MN) and Menu Parameter (MP) commands.
To put the KAT3 into bypass: MN055;MP001;MN255; I don't have a K3 with me (I'm in a hotel room, traveling), but I can tell you how to determine the MP value to use to put the KPA3 back to its "PA nor" state: Using the K3 Utility's command tester, enter "MN055;" and observe the K3's LCD display. It should open the KPA3 menu item. Then enter "MP000;" in the command tester. The K3's LCD display should say "not installed". Then enter "MP001;" in the command tester. The K3's LCD display should say "bypassed". Keep entering increasing values of MP00x; and you should eventually get to the MP value that is "Pa Nor", which is the one you want for "not bypassed". Or you can rotate the VFO A dial to run through the KPA3 menu items, seet it on the one you want, and enter "MP;" in the command tester, and the K3 will respond with the MPxxx; that corresponds to the current menu selection. MN255; closes the menu and returns to normal VFO A frequency display. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robby.VY2SS Sent: Monday, April 09, 2012 8:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] Switch KAT3 on and off via MACRO Button I am trying to switch my KAT3 to AUTO or BYP with PF keys. I want to make M1 set the power to 70W and KAT3 to BYP when using the amp and M2 set power to 100W and KAT3 to AUTO when barefoot. I looked at the programmers guide but did not discover a way to do this. The power part was easy. 73, -Robby VY2SS -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Switch-KAT3-on-and-off-via-MACRO-Button -tp7450587p7450587.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
