[Elecraft] Still no tx or rx on new K3

[Robert Redmon]

I certainly could have done that. In fact, before I powered it up the 
first time, I had done the same thing, but when I ran the K3 Utility, I 
corrected my error. Thanks for the suggestion. To all: I am working with 
Wayne and Gary currently trying to chase down the problem. Thanks 
everyone for your suggestions and good wishes.
