Re: [Elecraft] P3 macro problem
It would be really nice if there was an option to assign macros to the P3 function keys instead, programmable through the P3 utility.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 macro problem
already available if you install the P3's SVGA board copied from page 11 of the SVGA Manual found here: http://www.elecraft.com/K2_Manual_Download_Page.htm#p3 direct link here: http://www.elecraft.com/manual/E740170%20P3SVGA%20Manual%20Rev%20D.pdf quote Using Macros Macros are used to automate a sequence of control setting and button pushes on the K3 so that they may be accomplished with a single entry on the keyboard. For example you may want to create macros to shift the K3 into a particular mode on a specific frequency or band by a simple one or two key entry on the keyboard. You can create and enter up to 50 macros of up to 124 characters each. They are stored in non-volatile memory so they will not be lost when power is cycled. These memory locations are independent of the message memories. You can store 50 messages and 50 macros at the same time. Entering Macros Press Ctrl-Alt-M to open the macro entry window. The process of entering the various windows, assigning a key used to recall the macro and editing macros is identical to that used for text messages. See Text Message Entry, above. Note that to enter the text message entry window you pressed Ctrl-Alt-T but you must press Ctrl-Alt-M to enter the macro entry window. Sample Macro: Assign a macro memory to the F1 key (see Figure 5) and enter and save the following macro (see Figure 6): FA0001497;MD6;FA0001407;DT3 Now pressing F1 on the keyboard will send the above macro to the K3 setting VFO A to 14.070 and the mode to DATA, PSK31. NOTE: When creating a macro, pressing ^F will place the K3’s current frequency (including RIT) into the macro in the form of an FA command. For example, if VFO A is set to 7.123 and ^F is pressed while entering the macro, FA7123000; will be inserted into the macro string.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 macro problem
Yeah, but I don't want an external display or keyboard... It appears to be a relatively simple thing to add the option to the P3 natively. Or, as suggested, adding the possibility to send commands from the K3 on the KAT interface. // Ake -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/P3-macro-problem-tp7574907p7582826.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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
