The most important part of quick split is not the offset. I would be happy with an offset 
of zero, or an offset of "don't change VFO B".

What I want is one button that will (at least) activate SPLIT and SUB. This will prevent 
me from carefully finding the station the DX is working with the subreceiver and then 
calling him -- without activating SPLIT.

Believe me, this is easy to do and very embarrassing.

If I could have everything I want, it would do three things:

A->B
SUB
SPLIT

I would want this to be implemented as a programmable function key rather than an optional 
behavior for SPLIT, because there are times when I want SPLIT to be just SPLIT. One way to 
do it would be a menu entry that would let you choose an offset which could be zero or 'no 
change' and then assign it to a function key.
