I hadn't thought of that use for the macro. I was thinking of
when I'm tuning the band, probably in CW or SSB mode, and come
across a signal that looks like it is RTTY. This macro makes it
easy to set up to decode the RTTY.
The complementary PSK macro does the same for PSK and the other
DATA A encoding modes.
PSK MD6;DT0;PC035;AG000;IS 1450;BW0230
Go to Data mode and then Data A. Set output to 35 watts. Turn
audio gain to zero. Set filter center to 1.450 KHz and bandwidth
to 2.300 KHz
This macro sets up for computer PSK, MFSK etc. modes and opens
up the filter so the whole waterfall can show signal in the
computer decoding program.

This is a nice macro, but it's mostly a patch for a long-standing
firmware bug - namely that, on returning to a data sub-mode on any
particular band, the IF center frequency and bandwidth have often been
changed to something quite inappropriate.
This is because the K3 firmware failed to include the center frequency
and bandwidth among the data sub-mode parameters that are memorized
per-band. As a result, those settings are always being overwritten by
the last settings used on some other band - quite possibly for some
other, unrelated data sub-mode.
Many years have passed since Elecraft acknowledged that this was an
oversight... but it never was fixed, so the same problem has propagated
into the K3S, and very probably into the KX3 and KX2 as well.

There was a bug in my RTTY macro. The latest version is:
RTTY: MD6;DT1;IS 2210;BW0040
Goes to Data mode and then AFSK A. Sets the filter center to
normal (2.21 KHz) and the bandwidth to 400 HZ.
Old version was:
RTTY: MD6;DT1;IS 9000;BW0040

Bill Frantz | Since the IBM Selectric, keyboards have gotten

www.pwpconsult.com | Can we make something even worse?
