For those who may have missed this when I first described it-- * * *
In a recent discussion about SPLIT, many proposals were made (too many :) Others argued for no change. With this in mind, we've created a new "switch macro" feature. It allows you to create your own variation on SPLIT -- or any other radio function -- and execute it with a single switch press. In effect, you'll be creating your own custom firmware for the K3 that automates control sequences you use most. Example #1 (SPLIT+2): A>B A>B SPLIT VFO B up 2 RIT and XIT off Example #2 (WEAKSIG): Sub ON Diversity mode main/sub preamps on 200-Hz bandwidth center passband Many other combinations are possible, limited only by the K3's remote- control command set and the macro length limit (presently 56 bytes). You'll be able to set VFO frequencies or RIT/XIT offsets, adjust gain or filter controls, and virtually "tap" or "hold" nearly any control on the radio. First, you enter a sequence of K3 control commands into one or more macros using K3 Utility, which can store them in the K3's EEPROM. Next, you assign the macros to any of the K3's 10 programmable function switches (PF1, PF2, M1-M4 tap, or M1-M4 hold) using the new MACRO menu entry. After that, activating the switch will perform the desired functions, and the name of the macro will flash on VFO B as a reminder (e.g., "SPLIT+2"). * * * Many K3 (and KX3) owners are using such macros to obtain exactly the splits that they prefer. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
