[Elecraft] A way to show both "SPLIT" and "NON-SPLIT" warnings

[brian]

Reminds me of a snippett from a pileup:

Unknown station: "IK5XXXQ UP UP UP don't you understand English?"
Of course we have the same problem with guys trying to use code readers.
  Either they are not decoding  UP or don't understand what UP means.
