[Elecraft] Communications timing out sometimes...

[David Cole]

Hi Dick,
Thanks for the input here!  My K3 is set for 38K, and uses a serial
cable...  Not USB.  I still get timeouts when set at 1 stop bit,
although I was unaware the program set the serial port.  So my changing
it does not change anything...  I wish I knew why the timeouts...

Thanks and 73's,
