[robtk21 at comcast.net]

A FAQ or youtube video on operating split would be most helpful for us newbies.

Note that we already have an extensive FAQ page for the K3: 

    http://www.elecraft.com/K3/K3FAQ.htm 

There are many operating tips on this page, categorized by mode, etc.   
NR is one of the areas covered. 

Would this be a good place to add more extensive operating advice?   
This page can be updated much more easily than the owner's manual.
