[Elecraft] Now that the K-Pod is shipping, we could use your help with useful macros

[Ian White]

This is a nice macro, but it's mostly a patch for a long-standing
firmware bug - namely that, on returning to a data sub-mode on any
particular band, the IF center frequency and bandwidth have often been
changed to something quite inappropriate.

This is because the K3 firmware failed to include the center frequency
and bandwidth among the data sub-mode parameters that are memorized
per-band. As a result, those settings are always being overwritten by
the last settings used on some other band - quite possibly for some
other, unrelated data sub-mode.

Many years have passed since Elecraft acknowledged that this was an
oversight... but it never was fixed, so the same problem has propagated
into the K3S, and very probably into the KX3 and KX2 as well.
