Ed, You probably already now this, but other K3 or KX3 users may not. Until there is a single command for changing between the K3's front panel mic jack, the rear panel mic jack or the rear panel line in, the way to make the switch is to use one of these macros. Mic Input - Front Panel: MN053;

I know a number of us would be very pleased with the microphone selection being able to be set to a known state for H/L and the Bias ON/OFF. I can sure see with the Elecraft macros dealing with these toggle situations on an individual basis vs. over-all make sense and I am sure easier to imple

I don't know what your application development background is, so if I seem to be talking down to you, or anyone else, for that matter, please don't take it personal. You can have a good amount of control over the K3 with MACRO's, but you can only have fine grained control by developing applicatio

Ed, The switch emulation commands provide a method of activating functions for which there are not yet "direct" commands. In many cases both methods are available. For example, you can turn the preamp on/off with a switch emulation, which toggles, but there's also a separate command for t

It's crossed my mind from time to time when tackling issues like that how nice it would be to have an Elecraft MIB and SNMP control. Think of all the commercial & open source software and libraries that would instantly be available. It's always easy to daydream when you're not doing the work.

IMHO there is a big need for a command that can be use to define things back to the same state. One big rule in programming is you always set the state of things so you are always dealing with a known starting point. The command structure in the K3 does not permit this. A number of things in t
