[Elecraft] Macro for setup of K3S for WSJT

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

As to bandwidth for RX, since the transmit data is limited in bandwidth 
to the SSB bandwidth, I see no need to have the receiver BW any wider 
than the TX bandwidth.  Also, the RX low end likely doesn't need to be 
any lower than the TX bandwidth low end roll off.  Of course if you have 
SPLIT selected in the software then the TX can effectively operate lower 
by shifting the VFO accordingly.
