[Elecraft] K3 CW Text Decoding

[rich hurd WC3T]

Just be sure you give it a fair shake after you install it. I installed it
and sort of played with it unseriously.  Then when I really started to dive
into it, I discovered the 30 day timer had expired.  And I didn’t get a
chance to justify to myself the expense.

I’m now building a laptop for ham-only use and will reinstall it and try
again.
