[Elecraft] PC laptop for K3/KX3 digital modes

[Don Wilhelm]

Those "stuck" with Windows 8 can downgrade to Win 7 at no cost.  I do 
not know all the details, but I have read several reports that say it is 
possible.  It may require that you have a Win 7 DVD. Check Microsoft for 
better information.
