[Elecraft] K3 on FM

[Phillip Buckholdt]

Hi

 I've been running pre beta test firmware V2.92 for about a week. I has a 
revision for FM devation and AM compression. I have checked into several AM 
nets and 6 meter repeaters and have received very good audio reports. This 
relase has the VFO IND feature. Do not know when it will be released though 
but, should be soon.
