Thanks Eric, It just hit me wrong. I'm a Systems Analyst ($4 title for a high level software support engineer), amateur programmer (.net C#, C), and scripter (MS DOS, DR DOS, Powershell, ASP, VB, Java). My expectation wasn't for support to be a subject matter expert on macros. I just had a basic question because I expect the issue is my syntax. No worries. I have a working macro that's clumsy and not very efficient. I found the DN command for that attribute works. I'd much prefer a direct entry value even if it had to be a hex value 0-F instead of a string of 'DN;'.
Playing with the AGC seems to have fixed the concerns I have with the receiver sensitivity. At the defaults the rig works very well but was acting hard of hearing. What I've found is based on the antenna and QTH receive conditions there are settings on the AGC with the DSP engaged that pull the signals out VERY WELL. As expected the issues I'm experiencing are just learning curve type opportunities. I'm glad I purchased the K3 book and have the K3S book on pre-order. It's definitely worth having.
