Comments:
The command provides monitor and control of the RF PIC.

Command parameters are in three separate sets: (1) xband, (2) sband,
and (3) fan.  Each set can be commanded without affecting the others,
or in combination with others, by leaving parameters that are not to
be updated null (empty). Trailing null parameters may be omitted,
