[Elecraft] K3 Beta 5r10 and LINK

[Ian White]

That's an ingenious workaround, Gary, but you wouldn't need to do that
if the K3 had a programmable 'Smart Split' function like any other
transceiver on the market.

Many people are using custom macros for Split, but at present that macro
has to be assigned to some other button - and guest operators have to be
warned *not* to use the SPLIT button itself.

If there were an option to run a custom Split macro directly from the
SPLIT button, the K3 could have the most advanced Split function in the
entire transceiver market. Instead, it has willfully the dumbest, which
requires messy workarounds and invites errors.
