[Elecraft] K3 KX3 running winmor

[Matt Zilmer]

Rick Muething reported his team would fix this problem "real soon now"
in Feb.

Someone decided that having the "USB Digital" button was a bad idea,
so they removed the option, or broke it.

The solution I use is a workaround.  Wait for the end of the first TX,
then change the mode to DATA A.  I used a macro for this.  The mode is
only set just prior to the first TX.
