Joe,

Your problem is that Macros cannot read anything and save it. They can only initiate things. Setting the power to 10 watts and initiating a TUNE is quite possible (and even spelled out in the Macro examples in the K3 Programmer's Reference), but getting the power back to wherever it was previously set is the difficult part. you could restore the power to some predetermined level - say 100 watts.

Is there a way to have the K3 save a setting in a macro to restore for later 
use?  I got this idea after seeing Wayne’s post about the new Delay command.

I want this for a K-Pod button to do a quick squirt of RF for the auto-tuner.  
The tuner senses the RF and then goes to a preset.  So I’d like the button to 
do the following.

   Save the current Tune Power Setting
   Change the Tune Power Setting to 10w
   Delay 10ms
   Initiate Tune
   Delay 100ms
   Stop Tune
   Reset the Tune Power Setting to the previous setting

Thanks,

Joe
