[Elecraft] K3 feature request - Stop the KAT500 Relay Switch in Split

  The KAT500 relay switch over between two in-band segments is driving 
me nuts. A lot of DXpeditions on 160 use 1823.0Khz for transmit 
listening up 1-5khz. Every time the K3 goes from A RX to B TX, and back 
again, it involves a cur-chunk from the KAT500 whether the tuner is in 
Auto or Manual.  It happens where ever there is a segment boundary but 
is particularly annoying in the DX portions of the CW bands. Would it be 
possible to alter the K3's firmware to recognize a Split or XIT from the 
K3 as a Transmit on B VFO or XIT only? I know it would not affect owners 
of rigs other than the K3/K3s.
Tnx,
W1ZK
