[Elecraft] Troublesome Macro #1 (First in a series)

I am having trouble with the following Macro on a K3S and P3/SVGA.
BN10;DE500;MD6;DE100;FA00050313000;DE100;#CTF+00050315000;DE100;#SPN000043;DE100;
The delays are just there to slow things down, right? No impact otherwise.
What happens is the Macro executes, but when it completes, the P3/SVGA
switches the Center Frequency back to the previous band and the band the
radio is on is correct but the SVGA display differs from the P3 itself
by quite a bit. For specifics, I test the Macro by switching to 28MHz
band. After execution, the P3 shows the 28MHz center frequency but the
SVGA shows 74Mhz, or thereabouts. - If I change the SPN, the center
frequency varies. Suspicious.
What I am trying to accomplish is this:
Change bands(6m), Set Mode(Data), Set VFO-A Frequency (50313), Set P3
Center (50315) and P3 Span (4.3)
The idea is to have the audio bandwidth of FT-8 on the SVGA display (in
this example).
What obvious mistake am I missing and forgetting? Thank you.
73, Byron
Note the results are the same whether in a Macro button or some the test
command line. The results are fine when the command is broken up. I do
know about delays in command execution, especially band changes, and it
does work better when you are already on the band.
