[Elecraft] Macintosh version of Elecraft KX3 Utility

[Steve]

I have always used the latest version of Raspberian. Now its raspbian 
stretch. https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

I have an 8 AH 12 volt SLA battery and a small 12 to 5 volt converter 
for the PI . The battery is also the supply for my KX3 and can recharge 
an HT. I would be excited to be able to add Elecraft utilities to the 
Raspberry Pi.

Yes SLA batteries are heavy but I have yet to meet a ham that couldn't 
use a little bit more exercise. Myself included.They are also cheap.
