Creating A Rig Macro - QRPworks K-Board User Manual

Creating a Rig Macro:


In the normal mode (all LEDs are off), press F12 or ALT-Z
(added version 2.2.3). The LED will now be flashing slowly
indicating you are in the Edit mode. Then press a key F1
through F10 or Alt-F1 through Alt-F10.

Enter characters from the keyboard. Any previous
macro will be erased.
Macros must start with a period (.) as the very first
character. This tells the K-Board it is a rig macro and
not a text message.
Example:
.20M:FA00014012000;
Where:
. – (the period) indicates it is a macro
20M - is the name of this macro. The colon
separates the name from the macro.
FA00014012000; – is a rig command (go to 14.012
MHz in this example)
If you leave out the period, then the text
FA00014012000 would be sent to the rig as a message
to be transmitted.
To create a rig macro without a name, just preface the
very first Elecraft command with a period:
.FA00014012000;
