[Elecraft] Macros that need to be executed twice

[tomb18]

HiThe first 4 commands are almost exactly what WSJT-X issues. The band change probably is not finished before all the rest of the commands come along.In addition, issuing of P3 commands in a macro are particularly at risk.Have you ever noticed that a QSy on a marker using the P3 buttons didn't work the first time? I'm not sure this still happens but there was a bug in the P3 / K3 command chain that corrupted some data. I believe it's been fixed but if not that may be a reason. Some of these problems do not show up if the program in use has a dedicated control of the radio. But the developers should not assume this today. Many people use multiple apps.It would be great if Elecraft would just add a DL command with a millisecond parameter to all their utilities.  Many problems would be solved.73 Tom www.va2fsq.com

Here is one example that includes both K3 and P3 commands to set up for 
JT-65 on 40M.

VE3YT and I have a theory on what may be causing that and would like some test cases.  So if you have a macro that doesn't seem to work reliably or needs to be run twice, could you please send it along to me.
