Any change we make in the way split is indicated would have to be enabled
using a menu entry. The present behavior will remain the default.

currently am fine with split indication. If I include my logging program I
currently have 4 indicators to remind me.

retriggered each time you key. To get an idea of what that would look like,
just watch the RX and TX metering scales as you key the radio.
