[Elecraft] Split reminder

[ab2tc]

Hi, 

I cmpletely agree with K2AV's observations. There is really nothing to be
fixed here. With all the indications of split mode already there, another
blinking LED is not going to make any difference. There is really no excuse
for transmitting on the wrong VFO with the K3. Yes, it happens in the heat
of the battle - we've all done it - but it's just not the K3's fault.
