Implicit in your statement is that the transceiver, automobile, roadway
or whatever should make it impossible for the operator to have an
accident.  That's not possible - there are those who can break an
anvil.

The current design that *THREE* separate indications of split operation.
Any *one* of those should be sufficient.  *NONE* of the proposals do
anything to address the real question which should be how to notify the
operator that he *should be in split*.

The problem is that the operator *is not paying attention*.  The
correct approach would be:  every time the operator activates transmit,
the rig display should show a message that says "you are in transceive
(simplex) - are you sure you should not engage split?  Press XMIT to
begin transmitting"
