[Elecraft] P3: new unit no workee

[Alan Bloom]

The P3 is supposed to auto-baud the K3 to figure out what baud rate it
is using and then reset it to 38,400 automatically.  However autobaud
was broken in P3 firmware versions 1.06 through 1.13.  Either upgrade to
1.15 or later or manually set the K3 to 38400 in the "RS232" config
menu.
