[Elecraft] K3S Split Operation

[Dave New, N8SBE]

If you have the CW decoder turned on, you won't see the TX frequency 
shown in the lower half (VFO B) of the K3 display.
Otherwise, the VFO B frequency is shown in the lower half of the 
display.
When you turn split on, there is a little triangle flag under the "TX" 
at the right end of the display that will point to the VFO B indicator, 
showing that when you transmit, VFO B will control the frequency.
Turn split off, and the flag will point to the VFO A indicator again, 
showing that VFO A will control both the RX and TX frequencies.

Hope that helps.
