[Elecraft] No Tune Power Output While Split in Data Mode

[Bill Mader]

This didn't seem logical or possible to me.  So I tried it and discovered
the problem occurred on 6m, but not on 80m with my K3 and firmware 5.64.
Interesting.  This K3 (S/N 08343) has a recent EE INIT and re-load of
firmware and configuration after experiencing a power overshoot issue (now
solved).
