[Elecraft] K3 AM feature request

Thanks, Don. That is a big improvement. I did suspect that I was
missing something (and yes, I'm guilty of not having studied the
manual enough). 

I notice that while in COARSE, tapping RATE drops you back into FINE.
It might be nice if instead it switched to, say, 500 Hz steps. But the
50 Hz steps are quite comfortable for HF AM.
