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

[Merv Schweigert]

I am some what confused with the issue.   I also had assumed,
that if when I installed the 2nd receiver that split operation was
possible.   To say it takes a 2nd transmitters is not true.  It has
to be a switching issue in what I call software, firmware by others.

For instance my old FT-1000D,  if you put vfo A on 14.0 mhz
and vfo B on 7.0 mhz and hit the split button you listen on 14
and transmit on 7.  or you can cancel split and work whatever
band is on the vfo selected.   In essence you can work two bands
at the same time.  Have done that since 1990 so its no new idea.
And I can use the Sub rx to listen to any band no matter if its
above or below the main rx band.  

What am I missing other than assuming that the K3 is lacking the
basic operations of 25 year old radios?   At some point the increased
performance in one area is over ridden by the lack of features in
many other areas. 
The idea of buying two radios to do the job is also not viable, 
spending 1000 bux and doing a few mods on a 25 year old radio
will yield a pretty competitive radio in comparison to 8000 worth
of K3's?

Seems that this can be implemented and if its not possible due to
hardware we have a problem.  Maybe not for some but a lot of
us. Big enough for me to reconsider keeping the K3.
