To add a little more fuel to the fire there is another option that could
keep the two sides happy.
If the main display was to show the active frequency on RX and on TX.
I.E when in split mode change the main display to the TX frequency the
RX freq then being shown on the sub display and reverting back as you go
back to RX. This feature could be enabled or disabled by a flag in config.
I am sure there are many more alternatives that are worthy of a
consideration.

I think as you and W4TV have pointed out, there isn't a problem in
determining that SPLIT is on. Not noticing that it's OFF is the issue!
Wayne can make the radio sit up and whistle 'Dixie' when SPLIT is on
and it will not help.
I used to be prime cop meat until I made a macro to turn on SPLIT as
well as set VFO B up a couple of kHz. What caused my error was that I
was so focused on finding the station working the DX with VFO B, that
I forgot the extra button press.
My solution was to combine turning on SPLIT with offsetting VFO B.
Either the user can make a macro, or Wayne could implement the
much-discussed programmable SPLIT feature.

How about 'blinking' the intensity of the VFO B display to indicate
SPLIT is turned on.
I don't know how to announce that it is off when it should be on -
because that is the normal condition. I guess one has to rely on the
"up cops".

Or, we could replace the *entire* VFO A display with the word "SPLIT"
during key-down. This would be even more obvious, and it wouldn't mess
up the VFO B display. VFO B is what you care about during split TX.
