[Elecraft] K3 Split option idea

[Rich - K1HTV]

Many Thanks Ted. Guess after the many reads of TFM I still missed it :-).

I'm heading off to my K3 to set the SPLIT option now. Thanks again.

73,
Rich - K1HTV

That option to save the split state per band is already there.  Turn "SPLT SV"
to "YES".
