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

[Stewart]

I know that it's not the K3 display, but I have my MicroHam Keyer II LCD setup 
in that way. Normally the top display line shows the K3 VFO A and the bottom  
line VFO B. When transmitting in SPLIT the top line changes to display the same 
frequency as the bottom line. Very easy to see....
