Yes, and if business trends are true…short line, discontinuing products, not being able to keep up with new products, shortage of parts, that equals a perfect opportunity for a Chinese company to come in and buy them with a new name of ELECLAFT. > On Jul 17, 2023, at 1:37 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: > > Things become obsolete when replacement parts and/or service are no longer > available.

Re: [Elecraft] Use of "delay" in K3 CAT Command Strings
First, you need to remember that the programmer's manual for the elecraft
radios does not tell you anything about the syntax of N1MM+ macro commands.
For that you need to consult the N1MM+ documentation.
Second, the ; at the end of each command is not punctuation, it is an
integral and necessary part of each radio command.
The commas in the description in the programmer's manual, on the other
hand, are just punctuation for the reader, to separate the actions the
reader must take. They are not part of the command sequence, and they are
not part of the N1MM+ command syntax either.
One thing you might try would be to use the \ separator in your N1MM+ macro
commands after the first SWTn; command, as in
{CAT1ASC MN032;SWT12;\MP005;SWT14;}
According to the N1MM+ documentation, that will cause the two groups of
radio commands before and after the \ to be sent to the radio in separate
polls, which might be enough separation in time to resolve the issue (no
guarantees, but the fact that it often works without a delay suggests that
you won't need much).

[Elecraft] Use of "delay" in K3 CAT Command Strings
I use buttons in the N1MM+ Bandmap to store CAT Command strings. This
allows my remote operators to make radio setting changes easily while we
are contesting remotely.
When we switch back and forth between CW and SSB in mixed mode contests, it
is very helpful to be able to turn the Monitor/Sidetyone on and off. On for
CW, off for SSB. When you are speaking into the mike remotely, you hear
your voice delayed by the remote audio chain latency, which is beyond
annoying.
The Monitor/Sidetone audio is of course being accessed via the radio's Lin
Out by the shack computer sound card.
I have implemented the following macros:
For Monitor/Sidetone ON: {cat1asc mn032;swt12;mp005;swt14;}
For Monitor/Sidetone OFF: {cat1asc mn032;swt12;mp000;swt14;}
All I am doing is changing the "Lin Out t=" value from the normal level
(005) to zero.
This works most of the time, but occasionally you have to repeat the button
press or toggle back and forth to get it to "take." Since the macros
contain a Switch Tap (SWT) command, there may be times when the radio has
not completed this function before moving to the next command in the macro.
This problem is addressed in the Programmer's Reference Document as follows:
*Switch emulation commands must sometimes be followed by a delay if
successive commands expect the switch function to have been executed
(example: SWT16; [XMIT], delay, TQ; [transmit status check]). *
The example is somewhat unclear as to the exact syntax required. In the
example, there is an extraneous element [XMIT] justy to explain what SWT16
does, but it is confusing me about the use of commas.
All CAT commands in macros are separated by semicolons, but the "delay"
command appears to be separated by commas. I can't seem to figure out how
to use the "delay" command in my macros after the "SWT12" command. Does it
replace the semicolons, are the commas strung together with semicolons, or
what? Everything I try just makes the macro stop working.
Help and advice appreciated!
