Make that after your move commands within the macros...

There are apparently some issues with the P3 firmware retaining the frequency
and center by band.
I reported one issue where the P3 would return to an entirely different band
than the one commanded. The head of FW for Elecraft confirmed this is a bug
that needs fixing. When that will happen, if ever, is anyone's guess with the
K4, pandemic, etc.
In macros I write to change bands and frequency, I find that I must issue P3
commands twice to have the P3 properly centered as I want it. I issue the
first set of P3 commands at the beginning of the macro string, and the second
one near the end. This works for me, so I no longer worry about this FW bug.

How does one set the follow option, I just looked through the menu of the P3,
and don't see it.

Yes, it has been discussed, and yes, that is the case. It seems to be
most prevalent when returning to a band after moving off for a Q, such
as in NAQP's when the return is being commanded via CAT command. In
fairness to the Elecraft developers, it /*appears*/ that it is
attempting to put the frequency you are returning into the center-ish
part of the display which is not totally unreasonable.

I know this has been asked before but I don't remember the answer.
Isn't the P3 supposed to remember the span and center frequency from
band to band? It seems to change center frequency even if the band
hasn't changed, but that may not be the case.
