This was suggested before in some form. It sure would be a great help for us tap or hold incompetents to have these kind of macros/buttons as toggles. It is frustrating to get the wrong choice. I'll accept it that a telepathy interface isn't on the horizon. 1) split+N 2) qsk 3) sub . . . .

Cool! Does this mean I'll be able to write a 'switch macro' to change the autonotch to turn on with a tap and turn off with a tap without having to go through manual notch? And use the hold to go to manual notch? That would make the autonotch really usable on SSB! 73HankK8DD

I'll need to add an autonotch on/off command for you to do this in a single macro, Hank. I'll get it into the next revision (very easy to add, and I was planning one anyway). 73, Wayne N6KR On Oct 25, 2009, at 9:15 AM, .hank. wrote: Cool! Does this mean I'll be able to write a 'switch

Thanks Wayne for letting me try the new utility and FW 4.47. Installation went smoothly and the quick shift function is very convenient in the heat of the DX battle! I added command SWT48; to turn the sub receiver on at the same time. Thanks Elecraft for this new great feature! Richard - HB9ANM

Speaking of Sub ON, When I try to work a DXpedition or station working split (like UP 2Khz) I like to listen to the DX Station on Main Receiver VFO A and the pileup freq's on Sub Receiver VFO B. On the main receive I like my CW bandwidth narrow (starting at 500Hz). However, on the sub

Glad you like it, Lou! I programmed SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB5;RT0;XT0;SWT48; as SPLIT+2 on PF1 and: FR0;SWT48; as SPL OFF on PF2 for a quick UNsplit/SUB RX OFF function! Now Split on/off is as simple as PF1/PF2... Great Firmware! 73 Richard - HB9ANM -- View this message in context:

Like W6NEK, I like a wider bandwidth to listen to CW pileups; however I don't yet have a subreceiver. So, here's my UP1 macro: SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB4;RT0;XT0;SWT11;BW0050;SWT11; Provides split with VFO B set up 1 KHz, and a bandwidth of 500 Hz, while preserving the operator's bandwidth setting

This would be very difficult to do with switch emulation commands. We plan to make TX EQ per-mode, so hopefully you won't need to change it on the fly. 73, Wayne N6KR On Oct 25, 2009, at 9:00 PM, David M. Elliott wrote: Has anybody figured out how to program the TX EQ with a macro? 73 de

Hi Wayne, something seems not to work here with the cat commands. When I send the cat commands only VFO A changes by 10Hz steps, whether I use UPn;/UPBn; or DNn;/DNBn. No change in VFO B. The other commands do what they supposed to. Am I missing something? 73 de Roland, DC1RS wayne burdick
