[Elecraft] K2 and Hamlib-1.2.3

[Leigh L. Klotz, Jr.]

I have 2.04p and can confirm that I can read the mode, but the filter 
settings (read and write) don't work.
I looked through the Kenwood code that it uses and the KIO2 programmer's 
reference and I think it might be reasonable to try to #ifdef some of 
the kenwood code to produce a K2 version but still have the bulk of it 
maintained as the Kenwood, to keep it up to date with hamlib internal 
changes. 

I've made a patch to gMFSK to add a button to QSY so that the currently 
selected signal is centered at 1000Hz, and wanted to use the filter r/w 
commands to find the center of the current filter, narrow it 
successively, etc., but the commands seem not to be implemented.
