Overview:
I am redoing the old Genovation keypad I had for the K3 for use on the K4. As part of that process I needed to rewrite all the macros for the K4. I don’t want to lose them, and need a way to keep track of what macros are being used, so I keep a list of all macros I use. It is always better to share, so I decided to keep that list on line… This is that list. There are a lot of single command macros here, because I believe it is better to punch the Genovation keys, as opposed to hitting the keys on the radio over and over. Imagine how many times you will hit the M1 button on your new K4, in a contest… I would rather hammer the cheaper Genovation keypad, as opposed to the expensive K4, “M1”, (has my call in it), key on my radio. This saves wear and tear on the radio, and keeps the radio cleaner. At some point, I will publish here the howto for making the Genovation keypad work on the K4.
All Macros are listed on a single page here to allow you to search using the browser search function, or to allow you to just look them over to see how they are performed.
If you have a macro you would like to see here, please email me the macro, and I will add it to this page…

Control Macros: =========================================================================== Macro Name: Current settings to Per-Band Quick Memory M1. Tap STORE, wait 1.5 seconds, tap M1: sw20;de150;sw17; Store current settings in Per-Band Quick Memory M1 (tap STORE, wait 1.5 seconds, tap M1), via N6TV =========================================================================== Macro Name: Recall Per-Band Quick Memory M1 sw34;de150;sw17; Recall current settings in Per-Band Quick Memory M1, via N6TV =========================================================================== Macro Name: TEST Transmit inhibit. SW132; Transmit inhibit, puts the radio in safe mode, can't transmit. =========================================================================== Macro Name: AGC slow AGC slow GT1; =========================================================================== Macro Name: AGC fast AGC fast GT2; =========================================================================== Macro Name: AGC off AGC Off GT0; =========================================================================== Macro Name: Rate Toggles VFO spin rate toggle SW73; Toggles between Hz and 10s of Hz. tuning rate. =========================================================================== Macro Name: Lock Lock radio controls SW151; Locks front panel controls. =========================================================================== Macro Name: Split + 5 Sets up a K4 for split operation. md3;#fxt1;ab3;ft0;sb1;#spn6;fc+2500;vt1;vt$1;up500;sd1;vxc1; This macro sets the rig up for split operation by moving VFO B to the transmit frequency of the DX station, then shifting the Panadaptor to the right, putting the DX station on the left edge, and showing the pileup to the right. You can use the main tuning dial to control where you transmit from. The macro also suppresses the audio from VFO A, so you don't need to listen to the pileup. Use the two volume controls to decide the mix for the DX and the pileup in your speaker, or headphones.
