[Elecraft] XG3 Band Change

[Wayne Burdick]

This was a subject of debate among the engineering staff. We tried it both ways during field testing and settled on the present behavior. After you've had time to bond with your XG3, you will come to appreciate the subtle wisdom in this decision. Or not :)
