[Elecraft] Split operation - display of Transmit frequency on keydown

[Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO]

I think as you and W4TV have pointed out, there isn't a problem in 
determining that SPLIT is on. Not noticing that it's OFF is the issue! 
Wayne can make the radio sit up and whistle 'Dixie' when SPLIT is on and 
it will not help.

I used to be prime cop meat until I made a macro to turn on SPLIT as 
well as set VFO B up a couple of kHz. What caused my error was that I 
was so focused on finding the station working the DX with VFO B, that I 
forgot the extra button press.

My solution was to combine turning on SPLIT with offsetting VFO B. 
Either the user can make a macro, or Wayne could implement the 
much-discussed programmable SPLIT feature.
