[Elecraft] K3 feature request: Save Menu's states

We originally did this, Bill, but here's the problem. Those new to the 
K3 sometimes forget that VFO B scrolls the menu entry and VFO A 
modifies the parameters. If the last-selected menu entry is in effect 
on power-up, you can inadvertently change something important by 
spinning VFO A. We initialize the menus to benign entries (MAIN:LCD BRT 
and CONFIG:FW REVS) so there's no consequence of mixing up the two 
knobs.

There are many subtleties to user interface design, and it'll never be 
perfect for everyone. I feel that this is an important design choice 
that should remain in place.
