[Elecraft] [K3] NEW: K3 Front Panel Switch Customization (create your own SPLIT function, etc.)

[DC1RS]

Hi Wayne,

something seems not to work here with the cat commands.
When I send the cat commands only VFO A changes by 10Hz steps, whether I use
UPn;/UPBn; or DNn;/DNBn. No change in VFO B. The other commands do what they
supposed to.
Am I missing something?
