Here's a simple one. I'll explain it and then tell you how to assign it
to a button.
SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB5;SB1;
This does the following:
SWT13;SWT13; A->B, twice
FT1; SPLIT on
UPB5; VFO B up 2 kHz (yes, it's not a typo. The 5 means 2 kHz)
SB1; turn on the SUBRX
Of course if you don't have a subreceiver you don't need the SB1; Also
note that I have CONFIG: L--MIX--R set to A Ab so that I will hear the
DX in the left and right channels and the pileup in the right channel. I
find that most comfortable. If you just want split without the subrx,
you can just tab SUB after going into split.
OK, now what you do is go to the K3 Utility and select the Command
Tester/K3 Macros tab, and click Edit Macros. Click Read Macros from K3
in case you already have some. Put the string of your macro in an empty
slot and give it a name like SPLIT. Note the number of the slot. Then
click Write Macros to K3. Click SAVE and you are done with the Utility.
Now go to the K3 and hold Menu. Select CONFIG:Function. Now tap the K3
numeric button that corresponds to the macro slot that you used. If it
was number 2, tap the 2 button. You should get MACRO 2 in the VFO B
display. Now just tap or hold the programmable button that you want to
assign it to (hold PF1 or PF2 or tap or hold one of the M1-M4 buttons).
It sounds a lot harder than it is.

All the talk about split has made me want to build a quick split macro
or memory button.
I started to read the manual but its not making sense to me. I guess
some stuff I just need some help to learn.
Anyway what I think I want is to set up a macro button that would do the
A>B double tap function then add 5k to VFOB (up 5) and then put the
radio in split. Also a similar one for adding 1k to VFOB (up 1 for CW).
How would I do this and assign to M1 or M2.
I know this should be simple but what I am reading is not sinking in.
Thanks in advance for someone who can explain into my thick skull.
