[Elecraft] K3 SSB coarse tuning rate proposal -- revised

Very quick response from some K3 owners suggests that 2.5 kHz steps in  
SSB mode *are* useful, after all -- for quickly scanning the band  
(including when using the RIT/XIT control to move the VFO in coarse  
steps).

It may be that 5.0 kHz steps in could be sacrificed, instead, in order  
to add 0.5 kHz. 5.0 kHz steps completely jump over some SSB stations  
so have limited utility.

Note that this would have no impact on AM or FM tuning rates. Both of  
these modes would continue to provide 5.0 kHz steps as a coarse-tuning  
option.
