[Elecraft] k3 kx3 memory editor rejects 60 meter entries

[Neil Collesidis]

Thanks Don and Matt,
I was able to load everything I wanted except 60 meters into the 
spreadsheet. 60 resulted in an "illegal frequency" warning that didn't 
allow anything else until I removed the frequency.
I then manually loaded the freq's into the KX3 (which I absolutely 
love!). Then I downloaded to the spreadsheet and the freqs were allowed. 
I could even put those previously disallowed freqs elsewhere in the 
spreadsheet with no problem. Go figure. At least I have the workaround 
to the original problem.
thanks, Neil aa1sb
