Hi Wayne, My post about the Triple Power Setting Macro inspired Ed, K5EK, to write a macro for setting up various splits (UP1, UP2, UP5). Here is Ed's code.
Macro 1 - Up 1 SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB4;RT0;XT0;MN110;SWT12;SWT39;SWT14; Macro 2 - Up 2 SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB5;RT0;XT0;MN110;SWT13;SWT39;SWT14; Macro 3 - Up 5 SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB7;RT0;XT0;MN110;SWT11;SWT39;SWT14; He asked me if there was a way of deactivating the keying output signal used to turn on an external amp via a command that could be imbedded in a macro. Like Ed, I found that there does NOT appear to be a way of disabling the keying signal, other than having to break it with some kind of external mechanical or electronic switch. The signal activates various relays in the amp, but when the amp is warmed up, and only the barefoot K3 is needed, we want to be able to stop the keying signal via the macro that sets the K3 power to 100W. When the K3 is set to amp driving levels (10-20W, set by a macro) we would like to reactivate the keying output signal to turn on the amp when the K3 is transmitting. Is there a hidden command that we folks don't know about that can be used to accomplish the above? If not, we would appreciate it if this request would be considered for a future software revision. Thanks and keep up the great work at Elecraft. 73, Rich - K1HTV = = = -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Burdick [mailto:n...@elecraft.com] Sent: Monday, July 09, 2012 20:33 To: Rich - K1HTV Cc: Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: K3 Triple Macro - Corrected version Rich, This is a very clever use of the K3's macro facility. Here's how it works (for those who are not quite motivated enough to look up all those commands): Each of the three switch macros sets a different power level -- that's the obvious part (PCxxx). Normally, you'd assign each of them to a different programmable switch and leave it at that. Instead, Rich set up the macros so that holding PF2 not only changes the power level, it then *changes* PF2's macro assignment to the next macro in the sequence. The last macro (100 W) "wraps" back to the first macro (10 W). It's a little bit like self-modifying code. Wish I had thought of this myself :) You could use the same technique to set up a single programmable switch to top among a few favorite frequencies, or even bands, on repeated taps. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jul 9, 2012, at 12:14 PM, Rich - K1HTV wrote: > > Macro# Label (10W) (Macro) (6) (PF2H) (Menu) > 5 10W PC010;MN110;SWT29;SWH47;SWT14; > > Label (50W) (Macro) (7) (PF2H) (Menu) > 6 50W PC050;MN110;SWT33;SWH47;SWT14; > > Label (100W) (Macro) (5) (PF2H) (Menu) > 7 100W PC100;MN110;SWT27;SWH47;SWT14; ______________________________________________________________ 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
