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

Did you try without the “delays”?

Is it so hard to start wsjt-x and select the 6M frequency in the drop- down box, and then adjust the P3? 

And with the full spectrogram from wsjt-x , I don’t pay much attention to the O3.

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.
