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

[Mitch Wolfson DJØQN]

Joe, that is a great idea, but it doesn't go far enough. Some users 
might switch off the test mode on purpose. In this case, the K3 should 
induce an electric shock. Add some voice recognition software, so that 
when the user says "UP" in simplex mode, the K3 self-destructs.  ;-)
