[Elecraft] New P3 command and Macros...

[Alan]

The #RCF+002500 command moves the P3 center frequency to 2.5 kHz above 
the K3 VFO A frequency.

It works in both tracking and fixed-tune mode, except that if it places 
the VFO cursor off-screen in fixed-tune mode, the P3 may automatically 
change its center frequency again to keep it on screen, depending on the 
setting of the FixMode menu setting.
