[Elecraft] K3: An Observation for Struggling Brass-Pounders

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Wayne, 

How is the data returned if TT1: is enabled?  Is the CAT 
function disabled and the port turned into a pure terminal
output or is the received/decoded data returned in 
"chunks" within a "TT" report (e.g. TT[a string of N characters];)? 

73, 

   ... Joe, W4TV
