[Elecraft] P3 Feature Request

[Doug Turnbull]

A flashing TX cursor might help prevent accidental calling on a DX stations
frequency.   On occasion I need a stick of dynamite to jar me awake.

Along the same lines, it would be handy when running split if the P3 
displayed both the VFO A and VFO B frequencies. This would provide an 
additional reminder that you are running split and allow you to easily 
see exactly where VFO B was just by watching the P3.
