FWIW, the Icom 7700 and 7800 transceivers require a "press-and-hold" 
function in order to transfer all data upon commencement of SPLIT.   To 
accomplish this, the "Quick Split" option must be activated in their 
respective system menus.  I only bring this up as an example of a competing 
"high end" brand SPLIT procedure.   A similar "Quick Split" function as a 
menu option in the K3 would be a welcome addition.

To accomplish the same task, the '7800 and '7700 require single 
press-and-hold button activations while the K3 requires three presses (i.e., 
double press A>B, then a single press on SPLIT).  Also, no combination of 
activating SPLIT activates the '7800's 2nd receiver -- unless that ability 
has alluded me in the menu system.
