[Elecraft] [K3] Diversity quirk (bug?) with A->B

Firmware version 4.25.

If I'm using the subreceiver in diversity mode I can set its PRE and ATT
settings indpendently of the main receiver using BSET. But if I double-tap
A->B to copy all to VFO B, the main receiver PRE and ATT settings get copied
to the subreceiver. This is very weird. These are per-receiver settings, not
per-VFO settings. In diversity mode, the subreceiver has nothing to do with
VFO B. It is perhaps a confusing terminology that "BSET" is used to set up
the subreceiver in diversity. The thing to keep clear is that there are
THREE sets of receiver settings in diversity mode: VFO A, VFO B, plus those
subreceiver settings that are independent of the main receiver, which are
shoehorned into the inaptly named BSET. One does not expect that third
parameter set to be altered by an A->B operation. Only BSET should be
allowed to change them.
