[Elecraft] P3: a modest proposal for QSY

[Brett Howard]

I'd recommend if you want to add a K3 menu item that you'd enter the
menu and then press the P3 button that you want to assign.  Just like
you'd press M1-M4 or PF1/PF2.  I think the P3 should feel like its got
no disconnection between it and the K3.  It should feel as if it would
be 100% natural if the P3 was simply a screen inside the K3.  Not to
mention that when the K3 menu is entered the menu should be displayed
on the P3.  Thus it becomes even clearer that you can assign menu
functions to the K3.

One other point of note is that when a P3 menu item that only has two
states is assigned to a PFx button pressing that button should toggle
that setting like the K3 does rather than only pulling up the item.
