Creating Or Editing A Text Message Or Rig Macro - QRPworks K-Board User Manual

Creating or Editing a Text Message or Rig Macro:

There are 2 ways to store message and rig macros in the K-
Board.
1. The easiest way is to use the QRPworks Message
Management Utility program. It is available free on the
QRPworks.com website (click on Support / Utilities). It
allows you to define 10 named groups of message/macros,
with each group containing 20 messages/macros. Each
group can be used for a specific reason, such as Field Day,
SOTA activation, a contest, etc.
With version 2.1.1, you can save the groups on your PC or
Mac and download one selected group of 20 messages to
the K-Board.
With version 2.2.1 and later, you can save the groups on
your PC or Mac and download all 10 groups of messages
(that's 200 total) all at once.
On the K-Board, pressing Alt-G will display the current
message group in use on the rig, if text decoding on the
rig is on and instruction text is set to display (Alt-E
toggles). Follow Alt-G with F1-F10 to select message
groups 1-10 respectively, or hit ESC to exit without
changing groups.
The selected message group is remembered when the
K-Board is off, and will automatically be loaded as the
current message group in use upon starting up.
2. You can create a message or macro using the keyboard.
This is useful if you are portable and away from a PC or
Mac. To use this feature:

In the normal mode (LEDs are off), press F12 or ALT-Z
(added version 2.2.3). The Yellow LED will now be
flashing slowly indicating you are in the Edit mode.
