[Elecraft] K3 - Linking the VFOs for CW - SSB switching

Like a few other VHF and up types I'm patiently waiting for the Auto CW 
capability on the K3, where it sends on CW if you press the key and on SSB 
if you use the Mic PTT, with a frequency offset between the two equal to the 
sidetone frequency.

I have found a useful work around for now is to link the two VFOs with an 
offset equal to the sidetone pitch, with the higher frequency one set to CW 
REV and the lower on USB. Toggling the VFO A/B button then gives instant 
changeover from SSB to CW without having to retune.

I hope to give this a work out in the European VHF/UHF/SHF contest this 
weekend.
