[Elecraft] Split reminder

[The Smiths]

Vidi,

Don't worry it's happened to a lot of us.  I was just suggesting something similar to the group the other day.  Either have the numbers change in the main VFO as you Xmit (like most rigs out there do) have the Delta F light blink obnoxiously (hmmm) or perhaps even your idea where the little B is blinking on and off.

There's just got to be some other indication that we're not transmitting on the BIG number stairing us right in the face...
