[Elecraft] K3 problem with logging program after download upgrade

[Dick Dievendorff]

Huh? The command is one byte, a semicolon.  There are four supported speeds.
It takes a few parts of a second to do all this.

Hi, Buck. The K3 Utility attempts to communicate with
the MCU initially to establish its baud rate.  This is
done by sending a small command at each of the
supported speeds. <snip>

Soapbox ON. 

IMO - This is a tragic WASTE of BITS.

And this happens every time there is an update? 

Calculate the number of updates over the life of the
radio, now how big is the bit bucket - remembering
ASCII is 7 bits per character plus parity plus start
bits and stop bit. 

Could be some major overflow problems when folks least

expect it...
