[Elecraft] Adding KPA-500/KAT-500 to K3s

[Kevin, N4TT]

Thanks for all the great responses. Seems I was on the right track. Fred's
book mentions that some day the ATU TUNE may control the KAT500 and that
had me wondering if I had something wrong.

Everything trained up nicely and I think I have the per-band op/stdby
powers set right. The KAT500 is in MAN and a backup was done after
training. Now it's time to get on the air.

Thanks and 73,
