[Elecraft] K3: A>B two-step (was "illogical coding")

[John Buck]

My vote is for the option to set the preferred use of the split single 
tap.  Eventually.
I prefer the split capability one button tap for HF transfer all.
The cross mode capability for UHF even HF is a desirable option.
I agree that I get in trouble on HF remembering the double tap need.
