There is just so much any manufacturer can do to protect an operator  
from him or herself. The K3 already has the delta f light, the SPLIT  
indicator on the display (TU W2ZK - I'd forgotten that) and frequency  
readout for both VFOs. As one who has made his share of errors with  
the K3 and other radios, there is simply no substitute for just  
learning how to use any radio. I've been puzzled more than a few times  
by the K3 only to find the answer with RTFM.

The real problem with split errors is the insidious nastiness of the  
cops when a quick "RSE up" will do (and the DX isn't TX!), or perhaps  
a Talk cluster message that no one else sees. Either would be far less  
disruptive.

73! Steve WB6RSE
