[Elecraft] K3 shortening CW dits

[Dave Hachadorian]

Unfortunately I have not found a way to increase the weight of the Winkeyer
when it is under control of the N1MM Logging Program.  I can change weight
with the Winkey Utility Program, and the K3 CW sounds fine, but when I exit
the utility, the weight setting is not sticky.  I don't see any weight 
setting in N1MM.

Increase the weight setting going into the K3 jack.
