Great, Jim. It also turns out there's a way to toggle between two or more macros on a single PFx switch. Mark Goldberg thought of this. Here's his example that rotates through four macros on PF1 using self- modifying setups:

I used self modifying code. Each macro assigns a different macro to PF1 at the end, so I can use PF1 and it cycles between
four functions:

RAGCHEW TE +06+06+00-06+00+04+08+12;MN110;SWT27;DELAY;SWH18;DELAY;MN255; DX TE +00+00+00-06+00+04+08+12;MN110;SWT20;DELAY;SWH18;DELAY;MN255; VERY DX TE-06-06+00-06+00+04+08+12;MN110;SWT28;DELAY;SWH18;DELAY;MN255; FLAT TE +00+00+00+00+00+00+00+00;MN110;SWT19;DELAY;SWH18;DELAY;MN255;

The MN110 selects the MACRO x menu.
The SWTXX selects a number for the macro to be assigned.It simulates a button press of the 1, 2, 3 or 4 keys. The SWH18 assigns it to PF1. It simulates a button hold of the PF1 key.
The MN255 exits the menu

Seems to work. The delays may not be necessary but it shows the macro name for a while.

This should work on the KX3 or K3, and you could use the technique to do both a special SPLIT on and return-to-normal macro on just PF1 (or PF2).

Thanks to Wayne's pointing to the proper Dual Watch Command SB1 for on and SB0 for off, I've got a working set of Macros assigned to PF1 and PF2 to effectively turn split on, set the B VFO up 2 KHz, Turn on Dual Watch so I can hear the pile (must use stereo headphones or plug in a set of stereo speakers) and make sure RIT and XIT are both off.

The VFO B knob will tune the second receive frequency.

I set PF1 to turn it on and PF2 to turn it off. The 2 macros tested functional on the TX5K pileup on 20 meters a few minutes ago. Use the LATEST KX3 Utility to send these to the KX3.

A>B;A>B; (Tap A>B twice to make sure A and B are set to the same frequency and mode to start out with) SET TRANSMIT TO VFO B;MOVE VFO B FREQUENCY UP 2 KHZ;TURN DUAL WATCH ON;TURN RIT OFF;TURN XIT OFF;

SWT25;SWT25;FT1;UPB5;SB1;RT0;XT0; (Assign this macro to PF1 according to the instructions in the KX3 manual)

Restore everything to what it was before, turning Dual Watch off, setting TX back to the A VFO and again make sure RIT and XIT are off. This last may not be necessary but better safe than sorry.


SWT25;SWT25;FT0;SB0;RT0;XT0;            (Assign this one to PF2)

Remember the semicolons after each command or it won't work.
