[Elecraft] Illogical coding

[Ed Muns]

In all my operating, I want the frequency and mode to transfer, so doing
this with one button tap is ideal.  This is the way other radios work.

However, there are other use cases where only the frequency transfer is
desired and the current UI addresses that.  Even as a contester concerned
with minimizing UI actions, I'm not greatly hampered by having to tap A>B
twice ... the hardest part is remembering to do so.
