Ken,

Good job.  With that suggestion, the entire procedure I mentioned (including 
split recall) is now automated by saving into memory. (almost like a macro?) 
Even better, by activating SPLT SV as you mentioned, one can band hop and go 
right back to the saved split settings without having to recall the memory. 
For example, I had called the CW Rx split procedure as I described for 
40M -- then tuned around on 20M SSB for a while and came back to 40M where 
all settings were brought back with the just the band change button.  Even 
tried powering down the rig, and all settings came back at power-up.

Probably the only distraction with the procedure is that the lower, smaller 
frequency display becomes the "real" operating frequency for CW off-set 
purposes.  Oh, and CW spot will not work this way either.  So, opening up 
the DSP filters in a future f/w release for CW Rx mode is still the 
preferred way of accomplishing this.  Still, the flexibility to accomplish 
this in the K3 and still retain all the QSK attributes is damn impressive.
