[Elecraft] P span retention

[Fred Jensen]

This was discussed at length several years ago.  My memory is becoming 
increasingly write-only and I don't remember the exact outcome of those 
exchanges, but I think I recall that the SPAN is preserved, however the 
center frequency depended on how the band change occurred.  I do know 
that once I understood how it was designed, mine has stayed stable.
