The upper display as labeled VFO A [A].  Displaying VFO B in that space
is incorrect and also means that the operator can not see where VFO A
is set.

The K2 is a single receiver transceiver and the display shows the
operating frequency (currently selected frequency).  The K3 is a dual
receiver transceiver and shows the frequencies of each receiver [VFO].
That is consistent with the differences between single and dual RX
transceivers across the board.

BTW, the K3 *already* changes the VFO A display when switching between
RX and TX when RIT or XIT is in use.  In other words, the VFO A display
correctly shows the current frequency of VFO A.

Wayne, for those who need an "in your face" display, I *like* flashing
the VFO being used for transmit.  I think it could even blink slowly
in receive - so there would be *no doubt* where the K3 will transmit.
