[Elecraft] (K3) Mode change with band unpredictible

[Brendan Minish]

Try this without having any software running and see if you have the
same issue ?  

(very?) old kenwood radios needed the mode to be set before the
frequency, this does not work so well on modern radios that remember
mode on a per band basis 

On Dxbase I fixed this in the K3 radio configuration file by ensuring
that the mode was sent AFTER the frequency rather than in the default
order of mode then frequency
