I use this functionality extensively, including the DVK
For RIT up and Down, these are the commands I use
[Elecraft_K3_commands]
Macro_10=RU;
Macro_11=RD;
[KeyboardShortcuts]
OPEN_SQUARE=RigKbdCommand(11)
CLOSE_SQUARE=RigKbdCommand(10)
I do not have my older ini files on this computer but this is what I used for
WRTC. WRTC was dual mode and I did not want to send K3 DVK commands when on CW
so I mapped them to other keys. I have used the standard function keys in the
past and the K3 DVK works identically as if you were using the internal sound
card. Hopefully the following gives you the idea. I can see if I have the
actual old ini files that work with the function keys. Note that the K3
cannot transmit and record at the same time.
Macro_32=SWT37;SWT21;
Macro_33=SWT37;SWT31;
Macro_34=SWT21;
Macro_35=SWT31;
Macro_36=SWT37;
Ext_INSERT=RigKbdCommand(34)
Shift+Ext_INSERT=RigKbdCommand(32)
Ext_HOME=RigKbdCommand(35)
Shift+Ext_HOME=RigKbdCommand(33)
Ext_END=RigKBDCommand(36)
Also, make sure that Writelog is actually finding the .ini file
Good Luck

Subject: [WriteLog] Elecraft K3 function keys / macros with WriteLog
I've been trying program keyboard macros or commands for my Elecraft K3 with no
success. I've read a number of posts on this reflector, the WriteLog
documentation, and the K3 documentation for months now but still no joy. I
have the feeling that I'm just missing one little thing.
Except for my attempts to program function keys, WriteLog and the K3 are quite
happy together. For example, I can click on a spot in WriteLog and the radio
tunes correctly.
Similarly, I can spin the tuning knob and the WriteLog band map tracks
correctly.
I can also use the Command Tester feature of the Elecraft K3 Utility to send
commands to the K3 which are executed correctly.
I'm using Windows 7 and my writelog.ini file is C:\Windows\writelog.ini
The portion of my WriteLog.ini file with the commands is:
[Elecraft_K3_commands]
Macro_10=rt0;
Macro_11=rt1;
These commands are RIT Off and RIT On. I'm using these for testing as they are
very simple and I can see the RIT LED switch off/on on the K3.
I'm using the Setup->Keyboard Shortcuts... window to link keyboard functions to
the K3 macros, namely:
F01 -> Rig1Command(10)
F02 -> Rig1Command(11)
F03 -> RigKbdCommand(10)
F04 -> RigKbdCommand(11)
but none of these work.My goal is to record my CQ message on the K3 DVR and
program WriteLog to send it but all I have so far is frustration.
Any ideas out there on what I'm missing?
Thanks & 73,
Ed K3QX
