Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Thanks for this info, Royce. Your observations rule out the 
possibility of any "overlay" preset - one that keeps values from the 
previous preset except for buttons/encoders etc. newly programmed.

It also means that .init is superfluous.

In any case, it's useful to know what the defaults are. It could save 
quite a bit of typing.
