[Elecraft] ECO for SPOT Control

I think it is a good idea.  I don't use CWT / auto-spot much and you've
just made me realize my reason.  Once I call CQ and someone answers, I
don't change my TX freq and the auto tune feature does just that.
Instead, I make sure CWT is off and use the spot tone to tune the guy in
with RIT.

The other reason I don't use CWT is that I don't like it taking part of
my S-meter away.  If CWT used the VFO-B area to show it's tuning display
that would be great.  But then I'd want to separate CWT and SPOT so I
could turn on the CWT display but have the SPOT button still just sound
the side tone rather than engaging auto-tune.

Ah, too many options and possibilities.
