[Elecraft] Feature Request: Shifting VFO

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I agree with Don and Joe.   One of my radios some 10 years ago had the 
feature.  It could be turned on or off.  Yet some really didn't like it 
and some thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.    To me, my 
K3S in its present configuration fits ALL of my needs.
