[Elecraft] K3 bugs

No bugs, works every time, guaranteed.  Sadly, it's useless.  Anything 
more complex will have problems sooner or later.  If it involves 
real-time communications, it will be a whole lot sooner than you wanted 
and usually at the most inopportune moment.

The issue however was a new K3 owner, trying out his radio, encountered 
some behavior [which it seems went away] that he didn't understand.  His 
conclusion was, "Elecraft delivers software with bugs."  A rather stark 
conclusion from one attempt to power up a radio.

I used to do a lot of things, one was software, worked on Apollo.
