[Elecraft] Configuring DXLabs Suite, Win4K3 and K3 for FT8 etc.

[Tim Tucker]

If you're just going to use WSJT-X (or JTDX, which is what I use) for
non-contest / casual operation on the main FT8 frequencies, I don't think
using the split/fake-it option is necessary.  Contesting is a different
thing.  To get started with casual use, just use the TX/RX split option on
the main UI.  I've also had mixed results using JDTX with a serial pairing
emulator (I use Eterlogic, but have tried several) and Win4K3.  It mostly
works fine, but I have noticed that over time the TX/RX timing sequence
starts to become "off"...I've only done light troubleshooting on this so
far, but I know it's not a CPU horsepower problem.  So when I'm doing JTDX,
I usually just use the HRDLogbook host and leave Win4K3 shut down.

My 2C.
