[Elecraft] K3 VFO link not working

I assign a pf key to link.  Another to diversity.  Works great.  Amazing to
work higher bands with my Small SteppIR and a Loop which are on opposite
sides of my house.  Into stereo, the difference is amazing.  Made me sit
back and wonder the amazing ability of the K3s.  Solid copy on the signal.
Just hope they hear me on the other end.

The "link" function has been moved to CONFIG: VFO LNK.

You can also use a macro with the "LN" command along with others to do a one
button execute on complex functions involving link.

The SUB button only has tap = SubRx on/off toggle, hold = Diversity toggle.
Also a tap which turns *off* SUB, also turns off Diversity. And a *hold* to
turn on diversity will turn on SUB if it was not on already. Pretty neat.
