I had this wild idea for doing something with my K3 but one problem is that I do not know enough about the K3 to know whether this made sense or not.
I wanted to create a button triggered macro that would be used to switch between two different states of settings (I assume I can do this). Since these settings mean something unique to my use of the K3, ideally I would like a display panel display of a flag or code to identify the setting that I was in -- say I called this setting A or B. Therefore, I was curious if there were an area on the display screen set aside for user custom needs and a command that can enter data into that setting. Now, I know that the display is very crowded but was hoping that such a facility did exist. If it does not, it seems that it might be a nice feature. Maybe a 5 character region on the display that can be addressed and used by individuals who program macros to manipulate their K3. Ideally, the characters could be addressed as a whole (a string) or individually as cell positions (maybe to define flags). Maybe I should check -- I think I am assuming that the macro programming language allows for conditional tests which would be a nice feature to have too if it does not exist. For the future K4, maybe an entire programming language built into the feature set of macro coding. 73, phil, K7PEH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
