[Elecraft] K3 utility on OSX

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

If you use Safari, it should automatically unzip it for you and place the folder in whichever location you're using for Downloads (this may be different in Lion or it may be some option of S/W I've got installed).

There used to be a problem with downloading to the desktop (the default I think) and I download to a 'Downloads' folder in my home directory.
