Ken,
If you are using TUNE (and not ATU TUNE), then there is no need for a
macro. Just go into the menu and set the KX3 TUN PWR entry as desired.
The ATU TUNE works with the KX3 alone or the KX3/KXPA100/KXAT100, but I
don't know what happens if you use it with the KPA500.

Hi again to the group
Jim and Fred both recommended lower power below 10 watts so the KXPA100 does
not kick in. I tried it with my K3S when I got home from teaching the radio
class and that does look as though it will work well. I hope to get over to his
place this week end and get everything working.
I no longer have enough equipment to look for spurious frequencies but most of
the time his KXPA100 would complete and the KAT500 would show very low SWR on
the power meter I had along. The SWR on both my meter and the SWR line of the
K3S display jump all over the place while the KAT500 relays are operating so I
consider that normal.
I am think of making a macro to turn the power down for tuning and if anyone
know commands to turn the KX3 tuner off and the PA on in a macro please let me
know and I will put it on one of his two PF keys.
Thanks for the help and I will let you know later how we come out.
