[WT-support] Trouble with wtrotators and ERC-M

[Alexander Kurpiers]

As a follow up: ERC-M works fine with wtRotators, but you need to update
to a more recent version of the ERC Firmware (the older version I tried
keeps sending \r instead of \r\n).
wtRotators works with K3NG settings (ERC set to 9600 baud) and Larry
fixed the development version - so now the Yaesu settings work, too (at
4800 baud).

Thank you Larry for the nice support!!
