[Elecraft] K3/ACLog interface failure

[W0JFR]

I think the RS232 data rate is set incorrectly in ACL - it should be 38.4.
The default ACL Elecraft rate (4.8) is based on the K2, whereas the default
data rate in the K3 is 38.4 (which you could set to 4.8). Anyway both the K3
and ACL have to use the same setting. You can also change the Stop Bits to
1, but I think it will work with either 1 or 2 set.
