[Elecraft] I need some help with this string of macro commands

[Tom]

Hi,
I tried this out as a Macro in Win4K3Suite and it works fine on the first 
press.
By default, Win4K3 does not add any delay between each command when using 
macros.
I think that this is a specific issue to DXlab.

Hi Jerry,

Thanks.  I checked and I did not have the latest K3 programming manual which 
contained the DE construct.   However, still no joy in Muddville.

Can not yet figure why the macro must be executed twice in order for the P3 
commands to be effective.
