[Elecraft] K3: proposed SSB coarse tuning rate change

We've had many requests to provide an 0.5-kHz VFO tuning step size in  
SSB modes. I'd like to substitute this for the current 2.5 kHz  
selection. The new set of steps sizes for SSB would then be:

   0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0

Most operators probably don't find 2.5 kHz steps to be particularly  
useful. 0.5 kHz, on the other hand, seems to be a useful lowest-common- 
denominator for tuning the SSB band segments.

Each mode can have up to 4 step sizes with the K3's present per-mode  
data structure. I could add more step sizes, but that would require a  
much more extensive change.

Please let me know if you have a compelling requirement for 2.5 kHz  
steps.

73,
