There is:

1.  Put VFO A on the DX frequency.

2.  Tap A>B *twice* in succession.  First tap will put the VFO A 
frequency in VFO B.  Second tap will put all the other VFO A parameters 
[like mode] into VFO B.  The K3 won't go into SPLIT mode if the two 
VFO's are in different modes.

3.  Hold SPLIT.  The little TX indicator on the right end of the display 
will now point down to "B".

4.  Select your TX frequency with VFO B.

It takes way longer to describe it than to do it.  You can listen on 
your transmit frequency by either holding REV [#2 on the keypad], or 
tapping A/B.  Holding REV will swap A and B for as long as you hold it, 
when you release it, you're back to RX on A and TX on B.  Tapping A/B 
will reverse the VFO's, tapping A/B again will put them back in normal 
split mode.

If you have a P3, both VFO cursors will show up.  VFO A is usually on 
the left because we almost always split "UP."

Hope this helps
