[Elecraft] Using a KX3 with WSJT-X & DXLAB Commander

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

I've used WSJT-X with Commander and the K3 and *never* seen a hang in
transmit.  The K3 and KX3 use the same commands for T/R switching (*ALL*
rigs use the same T/R switching commands from WSJT-X when using DXLab
Suite Commander - with Commander doing the translation from WSJT-X
commands to the rig specific command).

I would look carefully for RF issues - when using software commands, it
is very easy for RF to scramble the TX OFF serial command.  That issue
is particularly likely with a continuous carrier mode like JT65/JT9.

73,
