Re: [Elecraft] KX3 firmware rev 1.38: Programmable switch macros
If you come up with a working macro for this one, please make sure it gets posted to the reflector. I haven't been successful with it either. The split, up 2 on and off works just fine, but trying to get dual watch going under the same conditions here has met with the same failure you're reporting. Got tired of banging my head on it last night and ran off to work TX5K on 160.

I would also like this to toggle split and Dual Watch back off when invoked a second time (the resulting VFO-B frequency at that point doesn't really matter). This is what I tried initially: SWT25;SWT25;SWH25;SB;UPB4; and it works fine, except when activating the macro a second time, it toggles off the split (good), but not the dual watch (bad). So, I tried: SWT25;SWT25;SWH25;MN140;UPB4; and when I invoke this macro, instead of toggling the dual watch, it brings up the FM deviation menu choice So, I tried: MN140; by itself, and this brings up the Dual RX menu entry, but it doesn't toggle - the VFO-A display says OFF and the radio stays in the menu mode. When I select the Dual RX in the menu and assign it to PF1 or PF2, it toggles Dual Watch on and off, but it seems to be acting strange when placed in a macro.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 firmware rev 1.38: Programmable switch macros
The SB in the macro should be SB1 to turn dual watch on, and SB0 to turn it off. Did you try that? I'll try it, too.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 firmware rev 1.38: Programmable switch macros
Bingo! Works just like advertised. Thanks Wayne. I set mine up for PF1 to set up the up-2 split and PF2 to cancel the split and put things back the way it was. The SPLIT cancel commands for MACRO 2: Label = NOSPLIT commands = SWT25;SWT25;FT0;RT0;XT0; (double press AB, set TX VFO back to A, make sure RIT and XIT are still off) Jim - W0EB __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] KX3 firmware rev 1.38: Programmable switch macros
Dang, now I need another button for a third macro! Never thought of doing that one. Jim - W0EB I'm glad I finally found a way for you to turn the rig off with one switch press, Emory :) 73, Wayne N6KR On Mar 2, 2013, at 9:15 AM, WM3M wrote: Wayne, and the testing group, It all seems to work fine so far but will do more testing.
