[Elecraft] SPL N/A with everybody on CW?

[Brett Howard]

Whats to say that you couldn't enter into cross band split and then when
ever you TX the rig quickly presses A/B then TXes then presses A/B again
but simply displays like its TXing w/o moving freqs around and what not.
You'd probably not be able to do QSK that way but it would add a really
nice flexibility thats not yet already there.  I'm somewhat surprised
that N1MM hasn't tried to build this functionality in yet.
