[Elecraft] K2 firmware suggestion.

A splendid idea.  Another much asked for facility is for VFO A and B to
remember the associated mode and filter settings.

Now that the K2 box has pretty well reached the end of its development (?)
it might be worth looking at some of these outstanding firmware features.
It might be worth a poll to see just how much some of the operational
features are used by the masses. A questionnaire on the Elecraft site would
do it.  I for one would happily free up some memory by shortening or
reducing the number of CW memories.  That way an extra 1K could easily (?)
be found.

There could be scope for two firmware options even.
