I for one would not like this change. I have this on my Icoms and never
liked it.

Having the actual transmit freq PROMINENTLY displayed when you transmit on
CW with the decoder working would be a nice confirmation that you are indeed
xmitting where you think you are (split or not) - just listen to the K5D
xmit freq - looks like lots of folks need lots of reminders of just where
they are xmitting! Perhaps it's just a human condition!
What I'd REALLY like to see is the actual xmit freq displayed on the top
line (VFO A display line where the readout is a larger size). Then if you
are split it would display VFO A freq (rx freq as it does normally) until
you hit xmit and then would display VFO B freq (where you are xmitting) on
that line - sort of flip-flop the data. When you quit xmitting, VFO A would
again be displayed as usual and - if the text decode is turned on - the VFO
B line would again display the decoded text. 'Course with QSK this could be
quite dazzling!
Of course there are lots of other scenarios where this extra little prodding
might be very useful - those are left as an exercise to the reader!

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. (:-)
