macro help

[W4GRJ]

Trying to build macros for the first time. I think I have the K3 utility figured out but having trouble making a macro to do the following
1. switch to ant 1
2 tune (use the config menu preset at 15 watts) would like to tune for 2 secs then turn off
3 set the power output to 50 watts

My macro  an1;swh16;pc050;  tunes at 50 watts, can't figure out how to use the preset 15w tune then set the power output to 50watts

I believe your problem is that the macro is executing the pc050; command
immediately (within milliseconds) after the swh16; . Try separating it
into two macros: the first one would be an1;swh16; to tune, then after
two seconds, press the second one (pc050;) to set the power to 50 watts.

In order to do this all in one button you would need an additional macro
command to wait for a specified time before proceeding with the rest of
the commands.
