[Elecraft] K3: CW decoder

Hi Brett

The way I guess almost all of us operate on CW when in "normal QSO mode" 
is to pace the transmission even though the actual keyer speed may be 
higher than we are really sending, this is especially the case for 
complicated words, and doesn't need a menu item to use it. If something 
is likely to be difficult to receive, e.g. keyer is a KX3567Z you might 
add a question mark after the Z and repeat it, however using full 
break-in also allows the other station to interrupt by sending a string 
of dots to get your attention if they missed something. It's all a 
matter of confidence, which only comes with practice... There is no 
substitute for getting on the air and operating.

- Have a menu item for farnsworth sending. You set it to 0 for normal
operation (as the rig does now) and set it to anything between 0 and the
current speed setting minus 1 to get farnsworth spacing.
