so would it be possible to define a macro as the sibling of another macro (or a way to pair them up) - such that if one macro is applied, pressing the same button applies the other macro. Then another press applys the first. It would require a way to identify two linked macros and the f/w t

I suppose it might be feasible to define pairs of "on" and "off" macros and combine them into "toggleable" (?) switches (to save buttons). I'm not sure how the current status could be represented on the display, though. I think that a complete macro "undo" is probably not feasible - there are just

Many people also have the SUB on while SPLIT, so would be a second button tap if they want to turn the SUB off as well. Others turn off RIT during SPLIT and would want that enabled again. So, there is reason to "undo" or "reverse" some macros. Having a toggle function saves a Programmable Functi

Very true. But just exiting split your modes will already be the same from your previous macro execution. The only thing potentially lacking would be the equalization of the VFOs. But that does not really matter unless you are going to go into split again. And if you are, you will probably

I'd like to thank everyone who's been testing the K3's new macro feature. It appears to be working as intended, allowing operators to customize SPLIT and other operations as needed. We'll be doubling the number of macros (from 4 to 8) and increasing their length from 56 to 120 bytes. This wi
