Thanks for your response Larry,
not knowing which pgm was the culprit,
I posted here on the Elecraft list,
figuring _all_ the different pgm authors were reading here.
And since only after the new K3 4.42 beta release
was I now able to actually run S-Meter Lite,
at the same time as other pgms I wanted to run, such as,
DXLabs, VE7CC, CWSkimmer MultiPSK, N3FJP logs, to name a few.
Your slower polling rates of 250ms LPB / 300ms SDR worked perfectly!
You software gurus are just amazing,
we (users) are forever in debt for *all* of your contributions
that make our hobby more and more fun.
