[Elecraft] K3: Reading k3 swr remotely

[Charles Sanders]

In CQ/X (www.no5w.com) checking of the SWR is done using the following.

Set up the SWR read

  //Read/save Current Power Setting
  TheRadio->SavePreTunePower();

  //Read/save ATU Status
  TheRadio->SavePreTuneAtuStatus();

  //Put ATU in Bypass mode
  TheRadio->PutAtuInBypassMode();

  //Reduce Power Output to desired tuning power and Transmit
  TheRadio->XmitTuneWatts();

  //set up and enable timer to run for a desired number of seconds of Tune
Time
  StartTimeOfTune = Now();
  TuneTime = TheRadio->GetTuneTimeAsAbsTime();
  tmTune->Enabled = true;

Do the read using the DS command to read the VFOA text and then interpret
text

Finally restore the output power and ATU status to their previous values.
