[Elecraft] Interesting Anomaly - Warning

[Leigh L. Klotz, Jr WA5ZNU]

You can use advanced menu PTT-KEY and set it to OFF-OFF and configure 
your digimode program to use the "TX;" RS232 command sequence to enter 
TX instead of asserting RTS or DTR.

> 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
