[600MRG] New K3 firmware with 10 and 18 MHz XVTR IF selections

[Eric NO3M]

Holding "RX ANT" in dual RX got the antenna selections split; wasn't 
aware that Diversity and dual RX had independent Main or Aux settings 
(or that diversity even had selectable antenna routing???).

I guess the only remaining question is which filters are being used in 
the sub-RX in transverter mode.

Tests so far seem good.  After adjusting C183/179 on the main RF board, 
plenty of gain even with the beverage arrays and BOGs.
