FW 2.23 is operating great at my station! With the help of Bill (KV6Z),
we came up with a set of macros that programs PF1 with Macro 1 and then
Macro 2. It also sets the 8 kHz RX shift for those that have the ringing
issues. Here are the macros:
Macro 1:
Macro Label: CWSPLT
Macro Commands:
MD3;SWT25;SWT25;FT1;SB1;UPB4;MN142;MP001;MN110;SWT27;SWH18;MN255;
Macro 2:
Macro Label: UNSPLT
Macro Commands: SB0;FR0;MN142;MP000;MN110;SWT19;SWH18;MN255;
Once you get it programmed in (Fred Cady's book helps a lot with
programming macros), to use the macro, you just long press PF1 once to
activate Macro 1; and then long press PF1 to activate Macro 2. The first
long press sets mode to CW, copies VFO A to VFO B, selects VFO B for
transmit, turns on dual watch, moves VFO B "up 1," opens up the RX SHFT
menu, sets RX SHFT to 8.0, opens the Macro menu, selects Macro 2, holds
PF1 to program Macro 2 to that memory button, then exits the menu.
The second long press turns dual watch off, sets receive to VFO A, opens
the RX SHFT menu, sets RX SHFT to "nor," opens the the Macro menu,
selects Macro 1, holds PF1 to program Macro 1 to that memory button,
exits the menu.
One macro calls the next stepping through the two macros.
I have not tried, but I do not see a reason you could not increase the
steps. I have ringing on RTTY also so I may add that mode to the
sequence stepping through the macros until I get back to "normal"
operation. I could do this for PF2, but PF2 turns on and off my ATU
until I get tuned antennas for 40 - 80 m.
Your mileage may vary, but I have tested this on my KX3 this morning and
it seems to work fine.
