[Elecraft] K3: Firmware 4.48 release - stable, in use?

[John K3TN]

I have both DXLab and the MK2R+ set up per the documentation in both. Yet,
the MK2R+ busy light indicating two radios on same band comes on constantly.
The second radio is never turned on, yet the problem occurs constantly.
Cycling power on the MK2R+ solves the problem for a few minutes - any QSY of
the K3 causes the MK2R+ busy light to come on and lock out transmission.

Since every setting is per both the Microham setup instructions and the
DXlab set up instructions, in my experience the MK2R+ and DXLab do not work
well together. I don't have this problem with N1MM or HRD software and never
had the problem with DXLab before I used the MK2R+ so all signs point to the
combination of the two not working. Others have had the problem and it was
solved by upping the data rate to 38.400 - that did not solve my problem.
