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

[Brendan Minish]

In my opinion the K3 already does a more than adequate job of indicating 
split.

The Delta LED is Eye catching enough. Mind you my P3 is to the left of 
My K3 thus the LED certainly within my eye-line when operating.
However from the point of view of a standalone radio it might make 
better sense if the Delta LED was just to the right of the main display, 
but I am sure there are good design reasons why this is not the case.

Fundamentally however we have an operating problem, far too many jump 
straight into a pileup without first listening to see what is happening. 
Taking a little time to listen first always pays dividends in terms of 
working the dx and lessens the chance of footshooting.

If I was to suggest one change it would be for an option to prevent the 
Delta LED coming on when small amounts or RIT/XIT are applied, Even 1 Hz 
of RIT or XIT applied activates it, thus training the operator to pay 
less attention to the Yellow LED.
Perhaps an option to only enable the Delta LED when the TX/RX offset is 
greater than 200Hz or 500Hz ?

In IT we have a technical term for a certain type of problem that 
involves the operator, it's PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And 
Chair  )
I too have occasionally been the problem in pileups but it's my fault, 
it's PEBKAC and not the fault of the radio.
