[Elecraft] [Elecraft_K3] K3 Beta Firmware Rev. 3.59: Misc. improvements

[drewko]

FWIW... In rev-3.57  my K3 was typically locking 5-6 Hz above the zero
beat carrier. That seems to have been cut in half with this revision,
now locking 2-3 Hz above carrier. 

All India Radio carrier at 9869.986 KHz locks in AM Sync at .988-.989.
(All India Radio transmitters seem to be consistently about 15 Hz
low.) 

When I was a kid I dreamed of having a SW receiver that was accurate
to within 5 KHz, heheh....

Didn't have any problems with loading the F/W.

Some SWBC stations can be pretty far off freq. All India Radio is
consistently about 10 or 12 Hz low.
