Wayne I don't think you need to say NON Split on display It should either be
split or no other message

we are all to assume if the radio doesn't say split it is not in split mode.

Do appreciate your efforts to listen to the users to make Elecraft the best
out there.

I agree 100%, it does not need to say non split, just indicate split.

Re: K3 Programmable Split?

In reply to this post by K9QJS

I also agree. No need to bring attention to anything unless SPLIT is
expected. If SPLIT is expected but not displayed, it's easy to see that
something is not the way it is wanted.

As someone with low-vision, it is easier to interpret a displayed
message for special ops than it is to have to look, read, and interpret
a message every time I key the transmitter.

I also feel that "optionally" flashing the transmit frequency a few
times without the SPLIT display would do the same thing as replacing
the frequency display with SPLIT. Displaying SPLIT may cause confusion
when RIT or XIT is used. Flashing the frequency would bring attention to
any change of frequency resulting from SPLIT, RIT, OR XIT.

Some have asked for "Quick Split". is there any parameter that could not
be saved in a memory. You could wander off to any mode or frequency and
simply recall the memory, sometimes with as little as a double tap of
M>V. No macro or PF button would be needed, just a memory slot.

73,
