[Elecraft] K3 & Logic 8

[Brendan Minish]

You might wish to advise the author that the 'double click to set mode
issue' is because the mode is being set before the frequency. Some OLD
kenwoods required it this way around but with a modern radio that
remembers mode on a per band basis this now makes little sense 

what needs to be done for k2 K3 (and probably some of the newer kenwoods
too..) is to set the mode AFTER the frequency so that the mode is being
set on the new band, not  the old one.

I don't use logic 8 but if the author is unclear on what is needed I
would be happy to help if he gets in touch. I did the K2 and k3 support
in Dxbase and Omni-rig

Don‘t complain. Nobody will understand. Or care. And certainly don‘t try
to fix the situation yourself. It‘s dangerous. Leave it to a highly
untrained, unqualified, expendable professional.
