RTTY:FA00014080000;MD6;DT2;SWH17;PC005;

Note: If naming a macro, do not put a space between the
colon(:) and the first character. Or a space in front of any
command, for that matter.

Correct:

.RTTY:FA00014080000;MD6;DT2;SWH17;PC005;

Incorrect:

.RTTY: FA00014080000;MD6;DT2;SWH17;PC005;

Sending a Rig Macro

To send a stored rig macro, just press the Fx or Alt-Fx key of
the macro to be sent, where x is from 1-10 (i.e. Alt-F5). The
sequence of commands will then be sent to the rig.
