[Elecraft] K3 switch macro update

[Iain MacDonnell - N6ML]

I suppose it might be feasible to define pairs of "on" and "off"
macros and combine them into "toggleable" (?) switches (to save
buttons). I'm not sure how the current status could be represented on
the display, though.

I think that a complete macro "undo" is probably not feasible - there
are just too many variables.
