[Elecraft] K3 - LO CUT/HI CUT bugs

Hi,

I can confirm this behavior. I have never noticed this because as an SSB
operator I always use a low cut of either 200, 300 or 400. I generally leave
low cut at 300Hz and use high cut as a QRM fighting tool. Since most CW
operators use the SHIFT/WIDTH mode, that is probably is another reason why
this has gone undetected.

BTW the graphic passband representation is also pretty screwed up when
changing back and forth between shift/width and hicut/locut modes. In
particular, changing the hi cut often moves the left edge of the graphics
when switching between the modes. I can provided a detailed scenario if it
helps.
