[Elecraft] ATU TUNE does not work in DATA A Split mode

[Michael Eberle]

Apparently I forgot to quote the original message I was replying to.  It 
happens in Data mode only on 6 meters.  It does it with both VFOs on the 
same frequency (i.e. 50.276) or with one VFO a few kHz away, both VFOs 
in Data mode.  I probably would have never noticed it had it not been 
for JT65 since WSJT-X always turns SPLIT on automatically and moves VFO 
B around depending on where you are on the waterfall.
