[Elecraft] Feature Request: SPLIT on different bands

[Doug Turnbull]

Hi All,
     Yes, please be careful about feature upon feature making the menus a
nightmare.   Thank God for a good manual and KE7X books to further keep us
straight.  This is not really a radio one can operate without manuals.
Think of a ham who only has French and thankfully the K3 in not made in
Normandy or I would be in trouble.  The Orion II for a while had a bad
reputation because of what some found overly complicated menus.   The K3 has
a mass market in ham radio terms and this market helps to keep our favourite
radio company producing the best.

Olli,

I think something like that would add confusion to the user interface.
In other words, you have a unique situation that is only applicable if 
split is on a different band, but the display will not reflect the 
status of the normal RX and TX parameters when in split.
