[Elecraft] k-pod data cable

[Wes Stewart]

1) Let's get it straight that the connector is RJ12, not RJ45. I've already 
posted on using an adapter to extend the Elecraft-supplied cable from the radio 
to the K-Pod.

2) I have Macro 13 (tap F5) set to activate MSG 1 (SWT 21)  As I've written 
before, many times, tapping this button resulted in "MSG1" displayed on the 
radio but no message was transmitted.
