[Elecraft] [K3] WSJT-X settings for K3

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Yep. There is a known "K2/K3 problem". They're working on a solution. The program uses HamLib to interface with the radio and it apparently is the problem. I can't imagine what the problem is, and they won't tell me. The K3 (and I suspect all the Elecraft line) has a very straightforward protocol.
