[Elecraft] K3 option request

[W0FK]

I agree that would be a nice feature (and an optional one), but only if I
could see the split for a few seconds after the "Split" function is engaged
to allow me to easily set VFO B.  For example, Icom's menu system on the
IC-7800 displays a number (+ or -) when you press and hold split; you dial
in the split you want, press split again, and VFO B is set to that
frequency.

When I go into split initially, I pay attention to the + or - VFO B transmit
frequency. After that, I pay attention to the actual frequency I'm
transmitting on. I follow the receiving frequency in the pileup by listening
to who is working the DX station, or by seeing the spots on the cluster and
moving VFO B to the frequency area where the DX station is working. Having
VFO B display only a + or - offset all the time would make it harder to find
a good transmit frequency in the pile. 

Perhaps that "on-the-fly" options could easily be toggled into one display
mode or another through panel switch depression (vs a menu driven setting).
