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

[Cady, Fred]

This is looking like a promising change to me.  I guess "start keying" would have to have a delay so it didn't flash at QSK rates.
Please consider adding a transmit color to the P3 too because when chasing the split dx I'm not looking at the K3 display at all.  
Thanks and cheers,
Fred KE7X

Useful analysis, Rich. I agree this might cause some confusion.

Here's a simpler variation. Suppose we give operators the option of briefly flashing the entire transmit VFO frequency off/on once each time you start keying? This would duplicate the intent of the "TX" arrow, which points to either "A" or "B" but is small enough to get lost unless you're looking right at it. No new semantics -- just a more visible TX VFO indication.

This wouldn't tell you whether you're in split mode. But flashing the A vs. B displays would look quite different to the eye, so you'd quickly get used to looking for the right one as confirmation of your intent.
