[Elecraft] New band output codes

Currently, the K3 and K3S band outputs have unique codes for the 
amateur bands 160M through 6M with the code for 60M being shared 
with the output when the radio is off. With the new allocations 
for 2200M and 630M being likely, and a possibility of having 
more frequency freedom in the 60M band, perhaps it is time to 
consider reassigning the band outputs to include these new frequencies.

Probably the most compatible way to reassign these codes is to 
use the same codes for 160M through 6M, reassign 60M so it 
doesn't conflict with the code when the radio is turned off, and 
assign codes for 630M and 2200M. That would use 14 of the 16 
possible codes leaving two for future use or to describe two 
transverter frequencies.
