The 2 macros I use work OK since I reloaded the firmware. I tried so many
different, fancy things prior to getting messed up, I'm not sure what they
were now, but it was a lot. That's when I attempted to go back to what I
knew was OK, but they didn't work either. That's when I got desperate and as
a last resort, reloaded the 4.60 firmware.
Here are the two ORIGINAL macros that now work once again:
CW MD3;BW0040;SWH45;MN255; /* PF1 hold */
FSK MD6;DT2;BW0050;SWH47;MN255; /* PF2 hold */
Seems something in the firmware got out of sorts by my screwing around with
those two macros, but I don't know how.
Thanks ... 73

Jim,
Can you send us the macro's you are having trouble with?
Maybe we can help you with them.
Thanks,

Had a situation this morning where my two macros started giving me goofy
responses, and eventually would lock up my K3. The K3 still worked OK, and
all was cleared up with a power off/on. I couldn't get the macros to work
consistently, no matter what I tried, including the 'soft' reset'. So, I
reloaded my firmware (4.60) and this apparently corrected the failure. I
had been toying with several different macros and wonder if my playing
around somehow fouled things up. I only have 2 macros: PF1 HOLD to put the
rig into CW and PF2 HOLD to put the rig into FSK. These are simple macros
(thanks K1HTV) and have been working without a hitch, until I attempted to
get fancy.
My questions are:
Is it possible to fill up the macro memory slots, even when they appear
empty?
Is there a way to clear/reset ALL the macros without reloading the
firmware? (this seemed to fix my problem)
Additional curiosity: I was getting an FT0 on the terminal screen over and
over of the utility program when things were fouled/locked up. Radio was
NOT in split. I do not have the SR.
The radio and macros are now working as they should, but somehow I am sure
I messed it up somehow. Any ideas?
Thanks...
