[Elecraft] HRD slow accessing K3 frequency controls

Computer has a serial board with two ports. One for the K3 (P3) and one 
for the 480. Not used for anything else. No adapters.

Pulled a two month old backup SSD out of the safe. No go - did not work 
then either.

I am sure the computer is busy doing something - which I don't know 
about - causing a resource hog delay.

This is why 99% of the time, I am running Linux Mint. But, the number of 
programs that really are good for ham radio and work on Linux is small. 
Most of the stuff is garbage. So I keep Windows around.

I did find an Apple driver update - took it out and noticed no difference.

This is becoming one of those things that is taking more time than it is 
worth. I think this is how MS wear their customers down. Long live Linux!
