[Elecraft] Who's On First?

[Bill Frantz]

On my Mac system, it doesn't seem to matter whether the radio or 
the computer starts first. The USB interface to my upgraded K3 
is powered from the computer with enough functionality that the 
computer recognizes it without the radio being on.

In any case, start wsjt-x last because it will try to talk to 
the radio for rig control and harass you until it can succeed. 
I've been in this situation enough times to know that starting 
the radio, waiting until the radio is ready to talk to the 
computer and then clicking "Retry" works.
