[Elecraft] VFO indepence

[David Wilburn]

This is the most frustrating issue I have experienced with the K3.  I 
really enjoy the rig, and this is the only nit I have experienced.  I 
would like to be able to (during contests) pop over to other bands, 
listen for a moment and pop back.  But this is not available at this time.

The release notes mention the following:
TUNING EITHER VFO ACROSS MULTIPLE BANDS now brings the other VFO along 
      with it, so that both VFOs will always be on the same band. This 
eliminates the problem of bands getting out of sequence due to wide 
tuning excursions. (Later, we’ll allow the subreceiver to be on a 
different band from main if CONFIG:VFO IND is enabled.)

Tech support has indicated that this _may_ be something that is 
addressed in a future firmware release.  Time will tell.

For now, I am going to try and get a second antenna setup, and get the 
K2 back online.  Then I can use it as a second receiver.  My 
frustration was really notched up when I was able to split the VFO's 
on a 706MIIG in the vehicle, but cannot do it on the K3.

For now, I continue to enjoy the awesome radio, and wait to see what 
happens.
