Being a proponent of the KISS principle, I prefer to let the K3 software run unfettered by macros. Being clever with the use of macros gets overruled by dumb in this case. 73 de Ed __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Well there is one exception to the idiot-proofing and that occurrs if you use macros that have the PCxxx command in them for setting power.  Under certain conditions if a PCxxx command is used in a macro it can overide the CONFIG:PWR SET Per bAnd setting.  I have removed all PCxxx commands
