Turning off SPLIT automatically?

[Barry]

Sometimes, when I turn on the radio, SPLIT is engaged from last time I used a particular band - and I don't notice it for a while.

I seem to recall reading something about automatically disabling SPLIT on power up or power down, but can't find it.  Is this reality or from a dream?  And yes, I know about the Δf LED, but the radio is to my far left near a window and in the bright Colo sunshine, it's hard to see.

Tnx,
Barry W2UP

Barry,

If you set CONFIG: SPLT SV to NO, split will be cancelled with a band
change and also by a power cycle.  There is no separate setting for
power cycle only.

Barry,

SPLT SV =NO has a downside.  If you're chasing a multiband DXpedition
working split, setting it to NO will cancel split when you change bands.

Thus you run the risk of NOT being is split while calling the DX if
you're jumping about bands.  Worst yet, the self appointed cops will
start sending "LID" or worse.

You can guess how I know this.

Thanks guys.  That's what I was looking for.

Brian, I'm not sure which is worse - getting yelled at by the pileup cops, or calling someone, wondering why you're not getting thru, then noticing split is ON from the last time the radio was on :.)

Barry,

Good point, particularly if you missed out on a new one !
