I should have actually tried it before I opened my big mouth. :=) That
works when sending commands manually but not in a macro.
The problem seems to be that the K3 is not done processing the QSY
command before the P3 fixed-tune commands occur. It is as though the
fixed-tune commands happened before the QSY rather than after.
I confirmed that by putting a loooooooooooooooooong string of semicolons
after the FA command to add a delay. About 225 semicolons seems to work
reliably on my unit. With these two macros:
FA00007000000;;;;;;;; <225 total semicolons> ;;;#FXT0;#FXT1;
FA00007290000;;;;;;;; <225 total semicolons> ;;;#FXT0;#FXT1;
I can switch back and forth between the two frequencies in fixed-tune
mode and the display remains centered about the VFO A frequency.
Admittedly that is not a very elegant solution and is not necessarily
guaranteed to always work. Another work-around is to leave out the
extra semicolons and just manually send the macro twice. The fraction
of a second pause between button presses is enough to allow the K3 time
to respond.

I think [but don't fully understand the original question either] that
he is in Fixed Tune mode and wants to stay there, but when he executes
the as-yet-undetermined macro, he wants the desired frequency in the
center of the screen, presumably with the edges at CF+/-[SPAN/2].
Eric, Wayne, and the E-crowd could solve all of this if they just
devised a procedural programming language for the K3/P3, wrote a
compiler and linker, and provided a set of thoroughly debugged DLL's. It
can't involve more than a few lines of code. Since Elecraft software
utilities are free, this would be a good deal, no? Christmas is coming

If you want the VFO A to be in the center of the display, simply change
the mode from FIXED to TRACKING. That will keep the VFO frequency
centered - no macros required.
