[Elecraft] K3 Split option idea

[Richard Zwirko]

I wonder what other K3 users think about having this SPLIT option available
on the K3. Like many K3 users,  chase DX stations and DXpeditions. Many of
them working split, listening on a different frequency. With many radios
that I have used, when a band switch is made, not only are both the 'A' and
'B' VFO FREQUENCIES stored for each band, but they also retain the SPLIT
/NON-SPLIT conditions for that band. When chasing multiple DX stations,
often switching between between bands, I have to remember to hold in the
SPLIT button each time I change between bands. If I forget, I get 'reminded'
by the KHz Cops. Am I the only one?

Would it be possible to allow K3 users to have the capability of  retaining
the SPLIT condition on each band, if desired, with a menu option?

If there is concern about accidentally going back to a band and forgetting
that the radio is still in the split mode, how about having a blinking SPLIT
icon?  I know that the blinking SPLIT icon is used to warn of the 2 VFOs
being set to different modes and that the yellow LED is on when there is a
difference between RX and TX frequencies. How about the idea of the SPLIT
icon blinking when the K3 is in the SPLIT mode on instead.

Thoughts/Comments?
