Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi Rich,
I'm glad you and your knobs are working fine.

I have just noticed that the BC doesn't send back the .mode incval
command and instead it sends back .mode down.
So save the patch from the editor and do not depend on getting the
return patch from the BC. This is like the checksum statements in .tx
