[Elecraft] K3 and MK2R, Again

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

K3 (patched) uses a faster response to the loss of data from
the K3 - for example when the K3 is turned off while Router
and a logging program are still running.

The problem is that some logging programs will never time out
and they fill Router's CAT data buffer.  When the K3 is turned
back on, the buffered data must be sent to and processed by
the K3 before the logger, Router and K3 can resynchronize.
The "Patched" version of the protocol dumps polls after aprox
1000 msec to prevent the buffer from overflowing.
