Hi Mike, et. al.

The latest version of Fldigi that is in testing (I'm not exactly sure,
ask Dave, W1HKJ, for which version of Fldigi this change affects)
includes the latest version of Hamlib where the COM9+ limitation should
be removed.

If there are issues with the KX3 Hamlib support, please let me know.
