[Elecraft] K3 ESSB macro

[Greg]

When looking at this Barry I thought maybe you could read the status of 
the "+" icon on the LCD.  That is supposed to be on if ESSB is on.  I 
think a bug got into the FW where the icon is no longer showing when in 
ESSB.

This is from the current Programmer's manual...

IC * (Misc. Icons and Status; GET only)
RSP format: ICabcde; where abcde are ASCII characters (Byte in Table 4 
below) used as collections flags (Bit
in table). Each flag represents the status of an LCD icon and/or 
specific transceiver function.
Some functions whose status is indicated by IC command flags can be 
controlled using emulation commands. For
example, the K3 can be put into TX TEST by sending SWH18. The condition 
can be verified at any time using the
IC command (byte a, bit 5). Another example: ESSB (extended SSB) can be 
turned on/off using an MN (menu)
command, followed by SWT11, simulating a tap of 1 on the keypad. Again, 
IC can be used to verify the present
state (byte d, bit 5).
