[Elecraft] K3 Autoinfo speed - different with USB?

[gt-i at gmx.net]

Don,
ok, thank you. That clarifies the issue. Would be nice to hear from the 
Elecrafters if there are any firmware changes possible to improve the 
IF-message timing.
If not: I already had the idea to implement a frequency counter which 
measures the VFO's frequency, connects to the RS-232 output and combines 
the two into a super-responsive frequency status message generator :-)
Anybody interested? Then maybe I'll give it a try.
