[Elecraft] Updating Elecraft apps for Apple silicon

[Julia Tuttle]

Hi Justin,

That’s not a helpful recommendation, because:

1. We don’t have access to the source code (as far as I know).

2. The source code may not actually be x86-specific, and may just need to
be recompiled for ARM.

3. We’re all already aware, and (speaking for myself) somewhat tired of
“you can just get AI to do that!”.

Thanks,

Julie
