[Elecraft] Interesting Anomaly - Warning

Ed:

	You can prevent these kind of surprises by using the feature that
Wayne built into the firmware at V 3.10:

* CW VOX OFF BY DEFAULT ON POWER-UP: Some stations using PC control 
> may inadvertently key the K3 in CW mode on power-up if VOX CW is in 
> effect. If this is an issue at your station, locate the CONFIG:CW WGHT 
> menu entry and tap '4', changing VOX NOR to AUTO OFF. This will make 
> CW VOX default to OFF when the K3 is turned on.

I have my K3 hooked up to the computer via a couple serial ports. I also
ride bicycles and have a Garmin Edge 705 bike GPS unit hooked to a USB port
for route file transfer. This morning when starting to transfer a route file
to the Garmin GPS unit, the Garmin software attempted to poll various ports
looking for the GPS unit. This process caused the K3 to go into transmit
mode. I'm not sure if there is a cleaner way to prevent that other than to
have the K3 turned off while I am working with the GPS unit.
