[Elecraft] P3 v1.57 / SVGA v1.31 BETA firmware available

[Alan]

Yes, the issue is that after the P3 sends the UP7, DN7 command, etc. to 
the K3 it doesn't receive the new frequency back from the K3 right away. 
  So when the #FXT1 command (go to fixed-tune mode) is executed it is 
based on the old K3 frequency, not the new one.

Adding a delay in the Genovation keypad solves the problem because it 
gives the K3 time to update the P3 with the new frequency before 
executing the #FXT command.

Paul and I have been talking about it and may have come up with a better 
way to do this.  Stay tuned.
