[WT-support] K3 SSB mode change bug

[Robert Chipperfield]

Hi Bob,

Even if you only use WT to change band, you still end up on the wrong 
sideband after doing the 40 -> 20 -> 40 sequence (without clicking any 
spots or touching any radio controls).

Yes, I'm using native WT K3 support - no OmniRig or similar.

Likewise I do /tend/ to use the rig's band selection (and disable bands 
as appropriate), but on ZD9 I did accidentally spend quite a few minutes 
calling CQ on 20m LSB until some kind soul pointed out my error!

73,
Rob, M0VFC
