[Elecraft] P3 CENTER button and SVGA display

[Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO]

There is a bug fix in the latest beta version of P3 firmware that might 
apply:

P3SVGA 01.33 / 3-7-2016

* Center Frequency in Tracking mode:  Fixed an old bug that caused the 
VFO A cursor to reset to center of screen when VFO A was tuned after the 
user had adjusted the center frequency offset using the CENTER function 
in tracking mode.
