[Elecraft] control knobs lously

[Thomas Horsten]

I don't think I have very much RF in the shack, but the little I do have is

effects observed, is this a common thing? It happens on virtually all
bands/modes, but of course especially noticable on PSK31 and similar when
you tend to use the laptop while transmitting.
