As I remember, each macro can have 6 or 7 characters to identify it and be
displayed when you call that macro by button press. You just rename the macro
number to what you want it to show.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 fun Programmable switch display possible?
I have the same trouble with programmable switches. I can't remember
what is behind each one.
It would be nice if the display could be set up to say what the
programmed button was going to do and then you would push again to
confirm or push a different button to try something else.

Now if we only had some decent labels to stick on those 10 switches
Conventional computer labels seem to last a couple weeks before
peeling off. Tiny writing isn't my strength so they are cryptic and
only marginally readable. M1-M4 require diagonal printing.
The other criterion is they have to come off at a desired time without
residue.

The K3 has an average number of menu entries for a radio in its class.
But we've reduced the need to use the menu in two ways.
First, virtually every switch on the K3 has both tap and hold functions.
This doubles the number of functions available on the panel.
Second, the K3 has up to 10 switches that can be programmed to directly
execute menu functions or macros. Of these, up to four are taps and six
are holds. Macros are, in effect, fully customizable switches (allowing
the operator to define what fun means :)
Macros can be created using KX3 Utility and sent to the radio. A single
macro can do things like turn on the sub RX, copy VFO A to B, move B up
2 kHz, enter split mode, and set BW to 200 Hz.
