A number of people have asked what I am trying to do with the macros, so here is a quick explanation. In a normal day I'm switching between CW, digital and sideband frequently. CW is easy: VFO B is always set the way I want it for CW.
Digital and sideband have to share VFO A (too bad there isn’t a VFO C). To make the switching easier, I created two macros and assigned each to either PF1 or PF2. Macro 4 (sideband): front panel mic input with bias, VOX off, compression at 15, receive bandwidth at 2.8 KHz. Macro 5 (digital): line in, VOX on, compression at 0, bandwidth at 4 KHz and USB. If I’m on bands where USB is the norm for sideband then Macro 4 sets up everything perectly. However, for bands were LSB is the norm, I need to add a press of ALT to get back to LSB. That is why I’m looking for a command to set the “right” mode for sideband based on the band. Is there a way to do this that I just haven’t seen? To bad there isn’t a MD parameter for selecting the normal sideband mode for the current band. Or maybe there is?
