Hi Mike,

When working split it would be nice to display your transmit frequency.

        While in SPLIT mode, I see the TX frequency (VFO B) displayed
        in the VFO B window, with a TX-labeled arrow pointing at B.

Say you have 21.295 for VFO A receiving K5D and VFO B at 21.305 for
transmit.  While I see the TX arrow on B it would be nice to see that 
you
were actually transmitting on 305 on the main display.

        While in SPLIT mode where else -could- you be transmitting?
        Why would you need to be shown this information in a second
        place at the same time?

In split mode could it be possible to display the 2nd VFO frequency and 
be
able to change the vfo with the sub/rit knob.  In split I can't recall 
ever
needing to use the rit feature.

        You can change the VFO B frequency with the VFO B knob,
        either by turning the knob and reading the resulting change in 
the
        VFO B window or by tapping A/B to swap the VFO's to put
        yourself on the frequency of the calling station.  I think this 
is
        what you want to do.

        SUB is a button and RIT is a knob.  I don't follow what you're
        suggesting.  I agree, I've never had occasion to either RIT or 
XIT
        in SPLIT ... or in any situation, for that matter ... but the 
results of
        a change to either are displayed in the respective window if 
either
        is enabled.  Actually, I -never- use either RIT or XIT, but 
that's
        just a personal preference.

It would be nice to have immediate control over both vfo's if possible.

        You do ... by turning each VFO's knob.

        Heard you in a K5D pile-up today, BTW.  I operated from there
        in the mid-90's ... a miserable place, too. (:-)
