[Elecraft] Split not available

[Amateur Radio Operator N5GE]

Bob,

Why should it do that?

The description of what you want to happen would cause me, who primarily uses
split to work CW DX, to have to retune my B VFO to the DX listening frequency,
which is much more trouble than double tapping A>B to put both VFO's on the same
frequency.  

In addition, from a software developer's point of view your suggestion to change
the default operation of the HOLD A>B would cause many developers to have to
modify their software to accommodate your wishes.

Why don't you write a macro that does what you want using the K3 control
application?  That's why the folks at Elecraft gave us that capability.
