[Elecraft] Elecraft K144XV 2-m module design change

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

I believe that the "reuse" of ten meters can be transparent IF desired, and
the hi-lo range switching will not happen while going RX to TX for any
common use I  know about.

K3 will show the 2 meter frequency when using the radio as an IF.  The only
change is what band in the K3 is used as an IF.  And, the choice will belong
to the owner.

from Wayne's post:

You can set two 2-m transverter bands on the K3 if you like, one
configured for CW/SSB work (144 MHz band edge) and the other for use
with repeaters (146 MHz band edge). Or you can set up one band for the
entire range, and the oscillator will switch as you tune across the
boundary.
