[Elecraft] RTTY operation with Terminal in Utility

I'd seen comments about the inability of uploading the K3 
firmware through the P3's RS-232 connection and I knew that the 
instructions, until the P3 firmware is updated, was to turn off the 
P3 while loading the K3.

I had not seen any comments about a problem using the K3 Utility 
program to run the Terminal program on RTTY but I discovered 
that in order to use the RTTY terminal section, and probably the 
CW and PSK31 decode feature too, was to turn off the P3.  Once 
it's off, the Terminal program comes back to life.

I'm looking forward to a P3 firmware update when it becomes 
more transparent to the information flowing to and from the K3 
through the P3.

Also I'll put in another plug for updating the K3 Utility program so 
it can share a virtual serial port through LP-Bridge (for the 
Terminal) while the K3 can continue to talk to the computer for the 
Logger32 logging program.

Thanks for everything and 73,
Jim - K5LAD
