FWIW, I tried this N1MM Logger feature last night - I hadn't paid
attention to it before. It seems to work fine. I put the K3 into Split
mode with the buttons on the front - not via N1MM Logger, and it was
detected correctly. I didn't run a 48 hour contest with it, but a
quick test seemed to suggest it works well.

The only "gotcha" I noticed is that if you adjust your *RX* frequency
(VFO A) by more than the "tuning tolerance", it will actually knock
you out of Run mode. I think that's a bug - it should not happen that
way when in Split, I think. I'm going to ponder it some more, and
maybe submit a bug report.
