[Elecraft] K3: How to set Split in PSK31 Data mode

Hi all:

A local friend brought this to my attention.  

Seems he is trying to set Split on PSK31 using the radio built in PSK31
keyer/decoder and terminal via RS232.  When he tries to set Split, the radio
tells him "SPL N/A".

I tried this, and I can set Split to function normally in RTTY, both AFSK
and FSK, but I get the same indication when I try to set a Split using PSK
31.  Im not a digital mode person, but I do understand that you can do this
sort of thing using a computer decoder.  My friend prefers not to use a
computer, and really enjoys the internal PSK transmit/receive feature using
the CW paddkes.

He tells me the manual does not explain the issue.  He's right!

He does not have a second receiver.  I do, and can work around the issue
this way.  I can also work around the issue by using XIT, but it is
cumbersome.

Is this a firmware bug or is this normal?  What's the secret to setting
split in PSK31?

Thanks for the input!
