Hi Carl,
I like your idea of a reset-to-known-state command usable with macros.
I'll add this to my list.
tnx

I set out to make four macros so that I could select either of two

(CM500 HC4) in either of two modes (contest/DX net/ragchew). This
involves setting mic HI/LO and bias ON/OFF that toggle by a
keypress, so you
can't be sure whether you need to do a keypress unless you know the
initial
state. In other words, you can't write a macro that's guaranteed to
work. In
practice, you'll have about a 50% failure rate.
Am I missing something?
If not, I have a suggestion: In addition to the UP and DN commands,
have a
command to reset the menu entry to a known ground state. This could
possible
be a press of the CLR button, or maybe a new command. One could then
proceed
with confidence to set up the desired parameters. Adding commands to
cover
specific menu items would be another approach.
This would also cover the case of not knowing how many DN commands
to send
if in the future more knob-selectable menu entries were added.
Elecraft
could add more selections and your macros wouldn't break.
73 and thanks for listening
