[Elecraft] P3 - Split operation

[Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO]

Me too. For me, blue and yellow are like night and day, but red, green, 
brown, etc. are encompassed by a concept that I call "groun." I would 
like an option to make the TX cursor yellow.

30-odd years ago I used to have a 4-year old daughter standing by to 
read resistor color codes to me, and now I'm waiting for HER daughter to 
be old enough for the job.
