TenTec 599 Eagle - front panel bandwidth knob does not work once BW is set via CAT

SNPRINTF(mdbuf, sizeof(mdbuf), "*R%cM%c" EOM "*R%cF%d" EOM,

This is causing issue with 599 Eagle. This rig is kind of specific in terms of setting the bandwidth. Once the bandwidth is set via CAT command *RFxx the bandwidth knob on the front panel stops working until next power up or issuing *RF0 command. However, such command is never sent from cqrlog and perhaps other SW.

More elegant solution would be:

1. create tt599_set_mode function as a copy of tt565_set_mode
2. register tt599_set_mode to TT599 rig structure in orion.h
3. replace the quoted line with:
   SNPRINTF(mdbuf, sizeof(mdbuf), "*R%cM%c" EOM "*R%cF%d" EOM *"R%cF0" EOM,
   ttreceiver,
   ttmode,
   ttreceiver,
   (int)width,
   ttreceiver
   );
   and inrease mdbuf size by few bytes.

The outcome would be:

1. The bandwidth can be normally set via CAT command and stays set till the bandwidth button is left untouched.
2. Once the bandwidth button on the front panel is rotated it takes over the bandwidth settings (same as for setting VFO).

This has already been tested with TT599.
