[Elecraft] ERR KEY

[Gerry Hull]

Were you remote, Dennis?

I notice on the VY1AAA remote, if the sequencing is not right, I would get
ERR_KEY on the rig as well.
It seemed to happen just as I was logging a QSO (no ESM, just VOX).

This was Windows 10 locally, with the RRC.  I wonder if this is the dreaded
serial overlap issues that the N1MM and Microbit team has discovered
(manifests itself by causing WinKey to stop sending after a few characters
on CW.)   May be a completely different issue.
