[Elecraft] Problem connecting LP_Bridge through the P3 to the K3

[Ted Roycraft]

Thanks Gary,

I have an LP-PAN and will continue to use it even though I have the P3.  
It is still needed if you want to run CWSkimmer.  Even if I weren't 
going to use LP-PAN I would still want to keep LP-Bridge running because 
it allows multiple programs to control the K3 - one of those things I've 
gotten used to and now "can't live without".  Maybe it is a nit on my 
part but the RS-232 port on the P3 is supposed to be transparent to apps 
connecting to the K3 via RS-232 and it isn't - not strictly speaking 
anyway since LP-Bridge hangs while connecting to the K3 if the P3 is 
on.  I figure now is the time to get Elecraft to address these kinds of 
things.
