Paul hit the nail on the head. The K3 makes it easier to operate split, especially with appropriate macros. I don't think the K3 makes it any more likely to transmit on the wrong frequency than does any other radio. I'm a pretty good op but I've made the "UP UP UP mistake" occasionally for 50 years now, with many, very different rigs. I'm embarrassed when it happens and then I get over it. Yes, Elecraft can improve the P3 to make operation easier, more convenient and maybe even less error-prone for some ops. But there is no way a radio can eliminate all operator mistakes. Vic, you can stop kicking yourself. You quickly realized the mistake and corrected it. Lids don't.
