After the first execution, the center frequency on the P3 shows what appears

Is the P3 in FIXED or TRACKING mode?  Commands inserted in front of your
macro, below:

   1. Set frequency of VFO A to 18101.50
   2. Change P3 to FIXED mode
   3. Enable half-span scrolling

FA00018101500;#FXT1;#FXA1;VX0;MD6;DT0;XF2;MN255;MN053;UP;UP;
MG003;ML003;MN255;#CTF+00018101500;#SPN000040;MN255;

Tested this using the K3 Utility, and it seemed to work OK.
