[Elecraft] p3 fixed mode center does not stay stuck across band changes

This behavior bothers me too. It appears that if you issue a frequency 
command directly to the K3 the P3 will always reset its span limits. For 
some reason, issuing only a band change command doesn't cause the reset. 
It's probably a "feature" but it's one I'd also like to see modified.
