[Elecraft] Auto Information mode

[Tom]

Hi
I've seen parts of the programming interface and it looks quite good. I

with its open, and well documented and supported programming interface.
Bring it on!

I should have clarified: the K4 will exhibit 100% AI ("auto-info") control
and far faster update speeds.
