[Elecraft] W2 Utility

[Ken Chandler]

Then that's 2 happy chappies then Bert, for I've fixed 2 of my probs.
1st, had a err pll2 on tx calibration after the full build. Fault in  
seating of the sub rx!! 2nd,  my SPE Expert amp hooked up to the k3  
for the first time would not put the amp in tx from the key out   
socket fixed that but weird, switched off k3 and amp turned back on es  
hey presto it decided to tx, oh well we live es learn!!

Ps....The K3 es SPE expert amp do go well together on the desk!
