[Elecraft] Memory Management for the KX3 on the Mac

[Phil Hystad]

I have half a mind (only half) to write a memory management program for the KX3 and K3 for Mac.  My motivation is to do something new in Swift.

Although I have MacLoggerDX, I don't use it anymore since I found it much nicer to use my own 
software that I write for the Mac.  I have several different applications but only one useful for
ham radio which is my own logging database application.  Often I don't find much reason to write
software for my ham radio rigs because I rarely use it except for the utilities needed for the
Elecraft rigs.

However, I do think a memory management utility would have merit.  Unfortunately, another 
two projects are in the front of the line right now so likely someone else will beat me to the
punch.  But, if not, maybe I will have some time this summer.
