[Elecraft] K3 Auto CW Speed

[Rick Prather]

Yes,

I never use the cocoaModem display for setting speed.  Just mentioned it as
a workaround if someone feels they need it.

I usually am able to guesstimate the speed close enough to get a QSO going
and can trim from there.

About the only time I use the display in ccM is when I want to get an idea
how fast some smoking dude is going.
