[Elecraft] Feature Request: SPLIT on different bands

[Oliver Dröse]

Olli,

this is more confusion to "the normal guy" than just pressing A/B once, 
do the QSO, and get back with another A/B button press. I do it all the 
time when SO2V'ing on different bands, works like a charme. We should 
take care not to over complicate things on an already very feature rich 
radio Joe Average already has trouble with at times.
