[Elecraft] K3 - Firmware question / QRQ

[w5ov at w5ov.com]

If your VFOB is set to another band, and you want it to go split, you want
it set to the same band as VFOA. There's no way to know what split
frequency you want to go to though - is there?

Obviously, if you have your VFOB set to a frequency in the same band
already it should just change you into Split mode without changing the
VFOB frequency.

I would hope that this moderate level of logic could be included to
prevent stupid mistakes instead of forcing excess key strokes and wasting
time as it does now.

73,

Bob W5OV
