[Elecraft] Win4K3Suite Feedback

[Gerald Manthey]

Hello Doug
I agree with you. I use Win4k3 as my rig control and HRD log and DM780. It
is stable and works great. It is nice to have my complete K-Line monitored
and controlled by Win4K3.
Tom has done a super job on this software. The Terminal part of it is also
easy to use and a nice feature.
