[Elecraft] Control of K3 from CW Skimmer in split mode

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Just for grins, I tried editing:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Afreet\OmniRig\Rigs\Elecraft K3.ini

to change:

[pmFreqA]
Command=(FA...........;)
Value=2|11|vfText|1|0
ReplyLength=0


to:

[pmFreqA]
Command=(FB...........;)
Value=2|11|vfText|1|0
ReplyLength=0


It seems to basically work... but each click causes the waterfall to
shift, because CW Skimmer thinks that the main frequency is being
changed, but it's really not. It seems it'd be easy for CW Skimmer to
implement a proper solution to this - e.g. Alt-Click to QSY VFO B,
or/and a configurable option for left click to affect VFO A or B, but
I haven't had much luck with RFEs to Alex :/
