Glenn,
Doing a toggle itself is not too difficult, just set the macro to do the
button press.
The impossible part is that one cannot read the state of mic bias in a
macro and decide whether to turn bias on or leave it alone since bias is
already set on.
The mic bias *can* be left on for digital modes in most cases.
If you are using an interface box, just make certain there is a DC
Blocking capacitor in series with the AF output line - if there is none,
add it. A 10 uF electrolytic will normally work fine.
PTT is similar except that the menu has 3 positions - again there is no
way for a macro to determine how it was previously set.
If you intend leaving both the microphone and the data mode interface
connected, I would suggest that using a physical switch to disable the
PTT button on the microphone would be a better solution (but that means
building an adapter with the switch).
Leaving a microphone connected while operating data modes is not a good
idea because the mic element will be live.
I prefer to build an interface that has a switch to change between the
microphone and the soundcard output. You might want to re-think your
plans in light of these problems.

What I want the KX3 to do is to program PF1 and PF2 to configure the KX3 to do
the following:
PF1 turn the Mic Bias Off, disable the Mic PTT, and put the KX3 into Data A
Mode for PSK31
PF2 turn the Mic Bias On, Enable the Mic PTT to up down and put the KX3 into CW
mode.
I see from the programming reference MD6; (Data A) MD3; (CW) MN135; (Mic Bias)
MN082; (Mic BTN) MN255; (Exit Menu) )
What I can not figure out is how to toggle the menu selections. Mic BTN bit0
disabled Mic Bias bit 4
