[Elecraft] CQ WPX RTTY Contest

[Bill Frantz]

Thanks to some off list advice, I think I have tracked this 
problem down. It doesn't appear to be RUMlogNG because it also 
occurs with the K3 utility. (Note: I found thi problem before 
communicating with Tom DL2RUM.) Here's my message to support 
describing the problem:

When running the K3 utility (Mac version, but the problem might 
also occur with Windows and Linux), with the terminal window 
open, and having the P3/SVGA data display turned on, both the 
P3/SVGA and the terminal window lose characters during RTTY 
decode. The correct characters appear on the K3 display.

Turning P3/SVGA data display off clears up the characters in the 
terminal window, and switching to one of the other windows in 
the K3 utility clears up the problem with the P3/SVGA.

Simular problems occur using RUMlogNG's contest mode for RTTY.

Given the easy workaround, this problem isn't super high 
priority, but if it will be with us for a while, people should 
learn about the workaround.
