[Elecraft] P3 - Split operation

[Fred Jensen]

Of all the possible colors to denote VFO A and B, red and green are 
probably the worst choices since defective color vision is way more 
prevalent in males than females, the vast majority of hams are male, and 
inability to distinguish red and green is the most common color vision 
defect. :-)

I don't have any color vision at all so it's moot for me.  I run my P3 
with the monochrome waterfall, and if I had my choice, the cursors would 
be white, with A being solid and B dashed.  But since the odds are high 
I'm the only Elecraft customer with this vision defect, I can understand 
if they don't take my suggestion.  Then again, Alan added the monochrome 
WF option when I told him I couldn't use the color-coded WF very well.
