[Elecraft] Winlink Express + K3S

When calling to connect with winmor you will always get the timeout 
message until the called station responds.  Once it connects the error 
message should go away.  It drove me nuts for a while. :-) FWIW, I use 
the CAT command option for PTT so I don't have to remember to set the 
PTT-KEY menu.  Seems to work fine.  Note:  K3 and external USB sound 
card used here with Win10 desktop PC.  HTH
