"One touch split" from the VFO A frequency is an established menu option 
on a wide range of transceivers. The K3 requires FIVE distinct 
operations to set that up, leaving its owner several seconds behind the 
game.

I strongly prefer the option of an offset frequency as a starting point 
for tuning VFO B, because an offset of zero is the DX station's own 
frequency - the one place we *don't* want to transmit!
