[Elecraft] I did it again!

[Vic K2VCO]

It's several things.

One problem is that I watch the P3, so I don't notice the delta TX indicator on the K3.

Another is that I do use the second rx, and my brain seems to think that if I am hearing 
the pileup in my right ear then that's where I'm going to transmit.

And the third (which is what made me a lid last night) is that if I forget I'm in QRQ mode 
then SPLIT does not activate.

I've asked for a vertical line on the P3 that would display the TX frequency. That would 
save me, but wouldn't help those without a P3.

I've also suggested that SPLIT should override QRQ, or that there could be an MN command 
that could be put in a macro to reliably turn off QRQ and allow SPLIT.
