K3/KX3 Delay Macro Execution

[Jim - W6VAR]

I find I setup my radio in a portable environment a lot with different antennas. I like to clear all the ATU memories for each band when I setup.

I created a macro that selects each antenna and clears the ATU memories on a band and move up one band. However, if I try to run this as a single macro 11 times for each of the bands, it doesn't complete (I'm guessing because the macro is being fed faster than the radio can react OR I'm exceeding the maximum macro length). Is there a way to insert a one or two second pause between steps or is there a better approach?

Macro for clearing one band of memories and moving up one band
MN023;AN1;SWT53;AN2;SWT53;AN1;SWT10;SWT14;

Macro for clearing all memories:
MN023;AN1;SWT53;AN2;SWT53;AN1;SWT10;AN1;SWT53;AN2;SWT53;AN1;SWT10;AN1;SWT53;AN2;SWT53;AN1;SWT10;AN1;SWT53;AN2;SWT53;AN1;SWT10;AN1;SWT53;AN2;SWT53;AN1;SWT10;AN1;SWT53;AN2;SWT53;AN1;SWT10;AN1;SWT53;AN2;SWT53;AN1;SWT10;AN1;SWT53;AN2;SWT53;AN1;SWT10;AN1;SWT53;AN2;SWT53;AN1;SWT10;AN1;SWT53;AN2;SWT53;AN1;SWT10;AN1;SWT53;AN2;SWT53;AN1;SWT10;SWT14;

You can introduce small delays by inserting one or more semicolons, e.g ";;;;". But there's no long-delay capability at present.
