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.

commands
GM Mike,
The command is "DE<value up to 250 - which represents milliseconds in
delay>
Example DE001 = a delay of 1 millisecond. I use this a lot on some of my
N1MM
scripts. Just to give the Elecraft K3 a "moment to breathe". Most helpful
when I
am sending multiple Tap or Holds commands.
Hope this helps
Best regards,
Jerry, W1IE

Hi Jerry,
I’ve search in vain for the delay macro construct. Perhaps there is an
update K3
Programmers Manual ...
