[Elecraft] K3: data modes - bizarre behavior

[Don Wilhelm]

Matt,

Did you make a typo on that MD; command - if that is really what is 
being sent, that is a GET - it should be MD6; for normal sideband in 
data mode.  The rest all looks correct, but there may be some subtle 
problem with the order in which the commands are sent.

The mystery deepens.
