K3 Triple Macro

[Bill W]

Rich - K1HTV
I followed your instructions for the "K3 Triple Macro" setup but for some reason I cannot get it to work. The macro cycles through the power setting when PF2 is pressed but the actual output power level remains the same, that is it it only affected by adjusting the power level manually. I must be missing something for sure so any additional direction would be helpful.
Thanks

Bill-

There are probably a lot of things that could go wrong.  When I did my
macro toggle a couple days ago it didn't work at first and after a bit I
realized I'd put spaces after the semicolons on the macro code - not
allowed!

You might copy and paste your code to the list for inspection.

Nick's suggestion is very worthwhile. Fresh eyes can often help this kind of problem.

Yesterday I puzzled for quite a while over a pair of macros without spotting the problem. The DOH! moment came when I finally recognized that I'd entered (and then copied and pasted) MN11O (oh) instead of MN110 (zero). Good thing I never tried to make a living at bit-wrangling.

Nick, John, Rich, +
Proofreading closely makes all things possible. As soon as it was suggested
that I might have a coding error, it popped right out at me. 
I had the macro label in the macro code line.
Of course the poor K3 did not know what to do with "10W" etc.
Once again, thanks all for the feedback.
