[Elecraft] [K3] K3 and RFspace SDR-IQ?

SDR-IQ is connected to the computer via USB only.  SpectraVue 
can use either the serial port on SDR-IQ or a virtual port to 
connect to the K3.

VFO A only at the present.

yes, highlight a digit in the frequency and change 
it with up arrow/down arrow.  Change digits/tuning 
step with left/right arrow.

SpectraVue has NB but no NR.  Since I don't generally 
listen to the audio from SDR-IQ, it is not important 
to me.
