[Elecraft] K3 cross-band split

Not an incompatibility between N1MM and K3.  N1MM can't command
the K3 to do something that the K3 can't support.  Transmitter
filters and synthesizer settings are "locked" to VFO A due to
settling and switching time limitations and the K3 will not go
into split mode when VFO A and VFO B and on different bands.

N1EU and I worked with K3CT for quite a while to get the maximum
capability out of SO2V with the K3 given the available data and
control.
