[Elecraft] K3 Delta-f Indicator not working

[Bill K9YEQ]

Be sure the vfo's are on two different freqs.  If not the light doesn't go
on when you press split.

The delta F lamp is supposed to be lit.  The manual makes no mention of this
being controlled by an option.  I'd get in touch with Elecraft tech
support.   73, Guy.
