Maybe it would be useful to be able to "transmit-lock" one of the
VFO's; i.e., temporarilly disable it from transmitting altogether.

Another idea: provide an audible enunciator whenever A/B is pressed.
For example: a single beep for A and a double beep for B (or
alternatively, a high tone beep for A and a low tone for B). This tone
enunciator would tell you instantly which vfo you have selected and
would quickly become ingrained in your operating habits. (Better yet::
"di-dah" for A and "dah-di-di-dit" for B would be way cool! Perhaps
there are other rig functions that could benefit from Morse code
enunciators?)

As for Split, I wouldn't mind having a periodic audio warning to
remind me that it is on; perhaps some low-profile chime every
x-seconds with user-selectable volume, tone and beep rate. (But then
again, I am a cw op so not worried about it getting out over the
mic...)

Okay, so I like audible enunciators.  No need for jokes about 'roger
beep'...
