Jim,

I just knew someone would pop in with the answer for your K3 setup.

By the way, since you are new to WL I forgot to mention a feature that may 
be useful to you.  In the Entry window all the field names are shown in 
raised buttons.  These buttons can be programmed with additional messages, 
including macro commands that can then be played back by a left click on the 
field button name.  In the BARTG RTTY Sprint there are 4 buttons - CALL, NR, 
Country and C.  Each of these can be programmed with its own message.

To program a key hold down the Shift key and left click on the button.  When 
the little window box opens type in the commands and or text you want 
connected with this button.  For instance the CALL button could be 
programmed to send CALL? %E.  To complete the button program hit Enter.  Now 
if you need a repeat of a call just left click on the CALL button to send 
CALL?.  Just remember in RTTY put a %E at the end of each message button, 
just like in the normal F key macros to turn off TX.  Once you have the 
buttons programmed do a Setup/Save Configuration and a File/Save to save the 
program messages.

73,
Gary AL9A
