[Elecraft] Use of "delay" in K3 CAT Command Strings

[Richard Ferch]

First, you need to remember that the programmer's manual for the elecraft
radios does not tell you anything about the syntax of N1MM+ macro commands.
For that you need to consult the N1MM+ documentation.

Second, the ; at the end of each command is not punctuation, it is an
integral and necessary part of each radio command.

The commas in the description in the programmer's manual, on the other
hand, are just punctuation for the reader, to separate the actions the
reader must take. They are not part of the command sequence, and they are
not part of the N1MM+ command syntax either.

One thing you might try would be to use the \ separator in your N1MM+ macro
commands after the first SWTn; command, as in
{CAT1ASC MN032;SWT12;\MP005;SWT14;}
According to the N1MM+ documentation, that will cause the two groups of
radio commands before and after the \ to be sent to the radio in separate
polls, which might be enough separation in time to resolve the issue (no
guarantees, but the fact that it often works without a delay suggests that
you won't need much).
