I use Windows 7 without a problem. Here is my Writelog.ini excerpt:
[Elecraft_K3_commands]
Macro_10=SWT21;RC;
Macro_11=SWT 31;
Macro_12=SWT35;RC;
Macro_13=SWT39;
The RC; command clears the K3 RIT after my CQ (M1) and Thank You (M3)
messages.
Yes, you can use Macro_10. Writelog reserves macros numbered LESS THAN 10.
I use the Keyboard Shortcut Tool to define F2 as RigKbdCommand(10), F3
as RigKbdCommand(11), etc.
Works great.
When defining the SSB message content, enter the command %GKx in the
desired function key to send Macrox. For example:
F2:%GK10 {sends my CQ message}
F3:%GK11 {sends my exchange message}
F4:%GK12%L {sends my Thank You message and logs the QSO}
F5:%GK13 {sends my callsign}
No need to define a function key (or any keyboard shortcut) to terminate
a message in progress. Just tap your footswitch, PTT, or trip the VOX
and the K3 terminates the KDVR3 message in progress.
