[Elecraft] Diversity mode preamp

[ab2tc]

But that sequence must have serial command equivalents which could then be

that turns on or off both preamps or both attenuators also ought to be easy.
The important thing is that it is a specific series of commands or button
presses that have no side effects beyond the intended operation.
