I see. That will be very useful.
Now all I will need is a save/restore function for the center frequency
and the span. I use fixed mode and have set up those parameters
differently for each band. For example, on 18 MHz I have the center set
to 18.084 and the span to 32 kHz. That gives me a fixed display of
18.068 to 18.100.
If I had #RCF and save/restore, I could make one macro to save and drill
down to the pileup, and another to restore to the normal setting.
The #RCF would allow me to restore the center, as long as I didn't
change VFO A! But I often fiddle with it. And my span is different on
different bands.

The #RCF+002500 command moves the P3 center frequency to 2.5 kHz above
the K3 VFO A frequency.
It works in both tracking and fixed-tune mode, except that if it places
the VFO cursor off-screen in fixed-tune mode, the P3 may automatically
change its center frequency again to keep it on screen, depending on the
setting of the FixMode menu setting.

It looks like you are setting the span to 6 kHz. Then what exactly does
#RCF +002500 do?
I'm thinking this only works in tracking mode, not fixed mode -- correct?

A new command will be incorporated into the next P3 software release--
RCF.
This new command allows one to move the P3 CENTER frequency around on
the P3 screen, via relative moves, as opposed to the current absolute
moves now available.... What can this do for you?
In the macro below:
SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB7;RT0;XT0;#SPN000060;#RCF+002500;
The K3 is placed in SPLIT 5 KHZ up mode, and the P3 is placed into a
mode where the receive frequency is on the left edge of the P3 screen,
showing the pileup on the right in the above 5 KHz.
This allows you to see all stations you can hear who are transmitting
up 5 from your target station. You can then place your transmit
frequency into the empty spots where no one is transmitting, that you
can see, above a DX station using VFO B.
I have updated the spreadsheet at: http://nk7z.net/adding-an-external-k
eypad-to-the-k3/ to include the above macro. I have also updated the
CLEAR SPLIT macro in the spreadsheet to clear the split, and return the
P3 to center. I have tested this with the Genovation Keypad, and it
works like a charm...
Many thanks to Elecraft for taking the time to listen to input from the
users, and for adding a command to allow this... I honestly can say, I
know of no other company, which listens to the users and actually does
something as a result of listening to users other than Elecraft... I
am amazed at the customer service from Elecraft...
THANK YOU AGAIN for this level of support Elecraft.
