[Elecraft] K3 & Logic 8

This is not a patch this is an entirely valid solution in all ways that
the Software commands the radio.

Once again I would reiterate that all Rig control features of DXbase are
fully functional with the k2 and k3 

the underlying program logic does not (ever) send mode without also
sending frequency so this approach does not break anything at all.

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.
