Only if it's a set-up OPTION, rather than a fixed change to the f/w.

Some of us with K3s outfitted with the second RX are using Split when we are net controls of CW & SSB traffic nets; an extremely convenient way to keep one ear on the net frequency while simultaneously checking message-handling pairings we have previously dispatched to side frequencies is to start the net session with VFO A and VFO B both on the net frequency, but with SPLIT and SUB activated.   This allows us to quickly spin the Main Tuning knob to any of our side frequencies at any time during the net to check on the progress of pairings.   Since we often having pairings up or down 10 or 15 kHz from the net frequency, any automatic "Split turn-off" feature that's suitable for DXers and contesters as proposed above would negate the value of the second RX for net controlling.
