I believe your problem is that the macro is executing the pc050; command 
immediately (within milliseconds) after the swh16; . Try separating it 
into two macros: the first one would be an1;swh16; to tune, then after 
two seconds, press the second one (pc050;) to set the power to 50 watts.

In order to do this all in one button you would need an additional macro 
command to wait for a specified time before proceeding with the rest of 
the commands.
