[Elecraft] K3 AGC improvements (MCU rev 4.50 / DSP 2.74)

[Bill Frantz]

As a retired software developer, what amazes me is the way Wayne 
and company are performing their beta test. No NDA. It looks 
like almost anyone can sign up. Problems and future intentions 
are discussed in a public forum. I am blown away that a company 
would act this way. It is very refreshing.

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
