[Elecraft] Split N/A

[Bill Frantz]

I must say, push-push-hold is a reflex for me whenever working 
split, SSB/RTTY/CW. My only problem is pressing the wrong button 
-- V->M instead of A->B. HIHI It overwrites one of the memories. 
This error comes from having my computer and P3SVGA screens at 
right angles to the K3. Sometimes i'm pushing buttons by feel, 
especially if it has gotten dark and I haven't turned on a light.

One question though, does anyone work cross-band split? I heard 
a W1AW portable operator enforce his "DX only" by listening for 
SSB in the middle of the US CW/data-only portion of the band. 
Going cross band might also have obscure uses.
