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

[Joel Black]

For me, it happens *more* when WSJT-X is not the focus. I run OS X 10.10.1.

The problem doesn’t disappear when WSJT-X has focus, but it’s not quite as aggravating. I usually just hit whichever button doesn’t shut the program down (I forget which that is now).

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.
