[Elecraft] Fldigi - K3 connection

[Brian Waterworth]

Sometimes I have found that when starting FlDigi, the cat linkage doesn't
work on FLDigi's start-up.  I then have to go to FLDigi's menu and do the
following:
Configure-->Rig Control-->RigCat tab --> Initialize button.  If the button
doesn't turn red, you should be able to see changes on the rig or on FLDigi
sync'ed between the rig and FLDigi.

HNY,
