[Elecraft] My K2 firmware wish

Wayne and Eric, 

Since we're making our K2 firmware wishes known, here's mine:

One of the minor irritations of the K2 calibration procedure 
occurs when one recalibrates the filter BFO values. Even when 
no change is needed for a given filter, it is still necessary
to change the value a little then set it back to the previous 
value to force a save operation. 

Why not simply mark the BFO frequency as "changed" even if no 
adjustment has been made. That way, when moving to a different 
mode or filter selection, the value will be saved whether the user 
made an adjustment or not. Saving an unchanged value does no harm.

Beyond this approach to saving single BFO entries, would it be 
possible to have a global flag that says, in effect, upon exit 
from the CAL FIL operation "save all filter BFO values" regardless 
of whether any changes have been made? Then we could simply enter 
CAL FIL and immediately exit, updating all values at once.
