[Elecraft] WSPR with K3

A new version of WSPR requires the use of hamlib for rig support.
The K3 support is broken in hamlib.  Since the question was
specifically about problems with fldigi using hamlib and the K3,
the response was appropriate (and accurate).

I know about (and use) RigCAT for my own testing/support of fldigi.
In fact, I restrict my support for fldigi to the RigCAT interface.
While it provides a work around for fldigi, using RigCAT does not
resolve the issues with hamlib and software that uses it.
