[Elecraft] k3 and N1MM question

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

There are several other issues with N1MM Logger and the K3. 

1) N1MM Logger sets the "wrong" sideband when changing bands 
   because it sets mode before changing frequencies 
2) N1MM logger drops out of "run" when operating split and 
   tuning VFO A (receive VFO) 
3) the UP/DN keys for moving RIT operate in a fixed 20 Hz 
   or 100 Hz step instead of the values set in the N1MM 
   configuration. 
4) N1MM Logger does not follow the split/sub status set on 
   the transceiver front panel (even though support is 
   present in the K3 CAT protocol to determine sub/split 
   status).
