[Elecraft] K2?KAT2 mod idea

[Jessie Oberreuter]

      I considered decoding the xverter select lines for this ... and 
modding the KAT2 to not override the RF sense, that way you could map a 
transverter band to the port.  After switching to XV series transverters, 
tho, I don't really have a reason.
