[Elecraft] New K3s

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

I can't comment about the K3S vs. the K3 but with my K3S I find it works 
well with all my applications running under Windows 10.  I do have an 
issue with WSJT and CAT control.  It doesn't like the TX DATA mode on 
the K3S.    Other than one issue, all seems quite well with the others.
