Different strokes, I guess. I really like the macros and the ability to assign menu items to buttons. Here's how I've got my K3 setup, and I really am happy with it. M1T = AGC THR; M1H = AGC SLP M2T = AGC DCY; M2H = AGC HLD M3T = SPKR+PH; M3H = AF GAIN M4T = LCD BRT; M4H = LCD DIM (Wayne's macro's) PF1 = CW SPLT; PF2 = UNSPLT (my macro's) It all makes sense to me, and I use these macros and menu items frequently. I did change my UNSPLT macro to include unlocking both VFO's: UNSPLT is now LK0;SWT11;LK0;SWT11;SWT13;FR0;RT0;XT0; Although I am a CW operator, I almost always use my external microHam CW Keyer with an auxiliary keypad, so I don't need M1-M4 for CW memories. 73, Chuck NI0C K3 s/n 1061 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
