[Elecraft] K3S Macro issue with AGC SLP

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Jerry,

I talked to Howard about this and he wasn't trying to say it was 'programming' 
in the usual software context.  :-) Many of our customers refer to Macro's as 
'programming' the radio, and he was just talking in that context :-)

His request for an email to K3support (which goes immediately to him and several 
other support engineers) is normal since he isn't an expert in all K3 macros and 
sending to k3support helps us understand more exactly what you were trying to 
do, and it gets to all of our support staff -immediately- so the one most 
qualified to help can respond to you (or get back to Howard to help him respond).

73,

Eric
