[Elecraft] New Firmware Issues with K3

[W4CCS]

Hi Allen:

No, when I click on just a band change, all work as designed.. Problem 
exist when I click on the spot in the DX cluster..

The problem started with the P3 roll out and I was able to adjust the 
com port polling to get it to work but after the last firmware update, 
nothing I adjust on the com port allowed it to work.

I reverted back to the older firmware and it started working OK again. 
Something in the last version made it unhappy..

THANKS
