[Elecraft] IO Issues with K3

[Nick-WA5BDU]

I've been finding the same problems in the 160 test. 

A lower baud rate seems like it would be fine for most things, but I 
wonder if it would tend to shorten any Morse elements?  Now that I think 
of it, maybe not, since the speed would remain the same at the USB end 
of the interface.  And to send CW, the program just toggles a 
handshaking line, independent of baud.

I do think that CW seems a tiny bit "clipped" from N1MM compared with 
that using the built-in keyer.

I'm thinking RF problems too. I just re-intsalled my quarter wave 
Marconi since the landscapers cut down my main antenna tree the other 
day, so I probably changed the local field strength in some way.  N1MM 
is having other hesitation problems as well.  I should probably 
re-install it.
