[Elecraft] KPA500 feature suggestion - band bypass

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Yes,  but then you have to remember to "do the right thing" for the
band that you're changing to, every time... I'm envisaging a band-map
where I can specify:

6m Active
10m Active
12m Standby
15m Active
17m Standby
20m Active
....etc...
