John,
I figured it out. It seems like the <ALIGN> macro only adjusts the
transceiver frequency when the spectrum mode is displaying the RF frequency,
not the audio frequency. I had it set to display audio frequency to help get
things set up but <ALIGN> didn't work. When I switched to RF, Auto then it
worked.
Now to fine tune my macro's for this weekend's contest.
73,
Mark
