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

Wayne says....
I think the chance of success with this change is pretty high, precisely
because you *won't* have to be looking at the radio. A complete rewrite of
the VFO A or B display on key-down is going to be very noticeable even with
peripheral vision.

I say, thanks again for listening to a situation which confronts some of us.
I consider myself to be a serious and conscientious operator, and have been
a ham radio operator for more than fifty-five years. In the situation we are
discussing, I know that I have already been listening to the DX station and
I have properly set up the radio, using macros, for SPLIT operation. And
almost always, things go well.

Once in a while, I may, for a moment, change frequency to look at a spot on
the DX cluster, and then return to my original frequency/band. It is at this
point where I may have inadvertently dropped out of the SPLIT setup, and
have missed the existing clues to right the situation. Perhaps it is the
location of the cursor on the P3, indicating that I am up the band with VFO
B, that trips me up for a moment.

It is when a situation like this occurs that I would certainly appreciate an
"in-your-face" reminder that lets me realize very quickly that I have lost
my original SPLIT setting. Certainly you should maintain the interface that
already exists, and make additional choices optional, but I assure you that
I would like to be one to test-drive your recent suggestion.  

Thanks, Doug, VE3VS
