Hi Peter,

Take a look at:

http://nk7z.net/adding-external-keypad-k3/

That is a short article on using an external keypad on a K3/P3 combination, giving you one button macro launching capabilities.

About halfway down is a link to a spreadsheet of macros. Download the spreadsheet, and there is a macro there to move a K3/P3 to DATA A mode, which I assume is the correct mode for FT8.

Here is the Macro in the event you don't want to look at the article:

MD6;DT0;IS 1500;BW0400;

Here is the breakout of what each element does:
MD6:            Changes to DATA
DT0:            Sets DATA A
IS 1500:        Sets the IF shift to 1500
BW0400:         Sets the band width to 4K

Hope this helps...  I am sure there are many ways to do this
.
73s and thanks,
Dave

Has anyone created a macro to change the K3S from RTTY to FT-8?
