[Elecraft] K3/KRX3 80M SPLIT

[Larry Phipps]

For those of you who are having the problem Jim reports. I found a 
formatting error in LP-Bridge in split mode which was dropping a "zero" 
in the reported frequency to SteppIR in this mode. It is fixed in 
version 0.9.8.2, which can be downloaded on the LP-Bridge page at 
http://www.telepostinc.com/LPB.html
