Re: [Elecraft] feature request PX3 keyboard VFO control
HI George, I made a mistake on the band switching. The "BN" command takes a 2 digit argument. For example to change to 160 meters, use BN00; I have my keypad now set up for 160 through 10 meters and it works really good. At this rate I may need to allocate more room for more macros/text messages on the PX3. Glad you are taking advantage and enjoying it.

Re: [Elecraft] feature request PX3 keyboard VFO control
Hello all I thank you for all the help. I programmed it and it worked great. The only thing that didn’t seem to work is the band switching. maybe its my keyboard. I don’t know. The power button is most convenient. I love it! Any other goodies? George NE2I On Nov 10, 2015, at 7:57 PM, Paul Saffren N6HZ wrote: > And the BN commands must be 2 digits.

Re: [Elecraft] feature request PX3 keyboard VFO control
Hello Paul, just let everything drop and write a "Px3 Macros for Dummies". I know that you can do it and it would be a great help for the rest of the folks who try but do not succeed. 73 de Hajo (DL1SDZ) --- Cela est bien dit, ...,mais il fault cultiver notre jardin.

Re: [Elecraft] feature request PX3 keyboard VFO control
And the BN commands must be 2 digits. (I just added those) So 160 meters is BN00; and so on. Also, you can set up a macro to turn both the KX3 and PX3 off with one button push on the PX3 front panel. First program a macro using one of the first 8 memory locations with the following: PS0;#PS0; Map it to a front panel FN key using the Text Menu sub-menu, (see manual). Here's another trick a customer came up with. Let's say you're working a pileup with the PX3, you have it set up for split on CW and you want to inject your call sign very quickly. This can be done by setting up a keyboard macro to execute on a FN keypress: 1) Create a macro in one of the first 8 locations so it can be mapped to a FN key. 2) We'll use your call sign as an example. For the message body enter: KY NE1I; 3) Now using the Text Menu sub-menu, program that macro to a FN key. Now it's just a matter of using the PX3 VFO Marker to choose a position in the pileup, push the encoder to QSY, followed by FN key to quickly send your call. -Paul -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/feature-request-PX3-keyboard-VFO-control-tp7610210p7610221.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] feature request PX3 keyboard VFO control
Hi George, They have a piece of sample code to do what I think you want to do at the bottom of page 6 of the K2s & K3 & KX3 Programmers Reference document. You can download the PDF file from the Elecraft website: http://www.elecraft.com/K2_Manual_Download_Page.htm#KX3 73, Ken Alexander VE3HLS On 2015-11-10 6:53 PM, George via Elecraft wrote: Hello All Im playing around with the macros and trying to see if i could control the VFO with the keyboard (left right arrows maybe) Anyone successful with this using the PX3 Keyboard?

Re: [Elecraft] feature request PX3 keyboard VFO control
Hi George, You bet you can control the VFO with the PX3 keyboard. Here's what I have set up on my PX3: I use the UP/Down, Ctrl-Up/Down, Left/Right and Ctrl-Left/Right. I have the up/down keys adjust the frequency by 1 Hz, Ctrl-up/down by 10 Hz, Right/Left arrow by 100 Hz and Ctrl-Right/Left arrow by 1 kHz: Up Arrow: UP1; Down Arrow: DN1; Ctrl-Up Arrow: UP; Ctrl-Down Arrow: DN; Right Arrow: UP8; Left Arrow: DN8; Ctrl-Right Arrow: UP4; Ctrl-Left Arrow: DN4; If you have a numeric keypad on your keyboard, you can use those keypad keys as band buttons. For example, you can map KP0 (keypad 0) to BN0; KP1 to BN1; and so on. Those 10 keys get you from 160 to 10 meters. Some day when I have some extra time here at Elecraft I'll put together some tips on macros. :-) Kind regards, Paul -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/feature-request-PX3-keyboard-VFO-control-tp7610210p7610213.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
