Don , I owe you. I've been smacking my head since you suggested it. I
removed the 2 switch parameters, and now it works as it should. Interesting,
I have seen many examples that do this sort of thing, and they all have the
switch parameter imbedded in them. They also do the assign to PF1/PF2.
This macro did once work. I can't say why, but it did. Guess it doesn't
matter now.
I don't do many macros, but I like to learn new things and really try to
exploit the great features on this wonderful piece of gear. Best radio I've
had in over 50 years!
Don and Tom, thanks for the support and suggestions. Guess I'm not too old
to learn something new.

I agree with Joe.
I don't use MACRO's, but I do write software that uses the K3 Command
set.
The first thing I see is that you are calling the "MN255" command in
each of the MACROs. The MN command is only needed if you are
accessing the menu to change a setting, and you are not doing any
changes to the menu, so you can remove "MN255 from your MACRO's.
The rest of the commands look OK, but I suggest you create your
MACRO's using the K3 Utility. If you do that you can test MACRO's
until they work as you want them to.
Good luck.

The 2 macros I use work OK since I reloaded the firmware. I tried so many
different, fancy things prior to getting messed up, I'm not sure what they
were now, but it was a lot. That's when I attempted to go back to what I
knew was OK, but they didn't work either. That's when I got desperate and
as
a last resort, reloaded the 4.60 firmware.
Here are the two ORIGINAL macros that now work once again:
CW MD3;BW0040;SWH45;MN255; /* PF1 hold */
FSK MD6;DT2;BW0050;SWH47;MN255; /* PF2 hold */
Seems something in the firmware got out of sorts by my screwing around
with
those two macros, but I don't know how.
Thanks ... 73

Jim,
Can you send us the macro's you are having trouble with?
Maybe we can help you with them.
Thanks,

Had a situation this morning where my two macros started giving me goofy
responses, and eventually would lock up my K3. The K3 still worked OK,
and
all was cleared up with a power off/on. I couldn't get the macros to
work
consistently, no matter what I tried, including the 'soft' reset'. So, I
reloaded my firmware (4.60) and this apparently corrected the failure. I
had been toying with several different macros and wonder if my playing
around somehow fouled things up. I only have 2 macros: PF1 HOLD to put
the
rig into CW and PF2 HOLD to put the rig into FSK. These are simple
macros
(thanks K1HTV) and have been working without a hitch, until I attempted
to
get fancy.
My questions are:
Is it possible to fill up the macro memory slots, even when they appear
empty?
Is there a way to clear/reset ALL the macros without reloading the
firmware? (this seemed to fix my problem)
Additional curiosity: I was getting an FT0 on the terminal screen over
and
over of the utility program when things were fouled/locked up. Radio was
NOT in split. I do not have the SR.
The radio and macros are now working as they should, but somehow I am
sure
I messed it up somehow. Any ideas?
Thanks...
