Joe, Yes, more macro slots would be helpful. It would be great to be able to transfer not only Macros 1-8 in the K3 Utility, but also Macros 9-16, which presently can NOT be sent to the K3.
But, once the macros are assigned from the present 8 K3 memories to specific keys in the K3, there is not reason why these memories can not be written over for the next batch of 8 different macros to be assigned as multiple macros to other 1-8 or PF keys. 73, Rich - K1HTV = = = -----Original Message----- From: Joe Subich, W4TV [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 14:13 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Toggle macros Given the usability of these "multi state macros" it would be valuable if Wayne would extend the number of macro slots that can be assigned to K3 switches. In effect each of these "toggle" or "tri-state" macros is two or three individual macros that remap the key on each step - with at least 10 assignable keys (M1-M4 tap, M1-M4 hold, PF1, PF2) if each key were used for a multi-state application the number of required macro slots could easily exceed 20 if each key were used for a toggle function. If one does not use DVK/CW/FSK memories, the number of available keys (10) already exceeds the number of assignable macro slots (8). 73, ...
