[Elecraft] comparisons of K3 control software

I tried several different softwares for rig control of the K3. The 
problem I see is the plethora of do everything packages(logging, rotor 
control, wash dishes, etc.) I did not find a software that really did a 
good job at rig control. Hence, I use an old (free) version of Ham Radio 
Deluxe that does most of what I want for rig control. The best add-on 
for rig control I have found is the Pigknob - with 8 programmable 
buttons and a 2-speed VFO knob.

Be careful when testing some of these software packages. I experienced 
having to reset all my menu choices (equalizers, AGC, DSP, etc.) after 
using them. It appears the settings were changed by the software. I do 
not recall which package it was for sure - I failed to write it down. My 
bad.
