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.
