The software can enable it as quickly as the user can disable it <G>.

might switch off the test mode on purpose. In this case, the K3 should
induce an electric shock. Add some voice recognition software, so that
when the user says "UP" in simplex mode, the K3 self-destructs. ;-)

Looking for the *absence* of a change when the PTT is pressed or the
key is tapped to indicate that one has forgotten to engage split is a
bit counter intuitive. The *three* current indicators that split is
engaged *before* entering transmit are the logical UI.
Perhaps the better solution is to ask the logging software authors to
determine when VFO A is tuned to a frequency spotted as split and
select TEST MODE if split is not engaged or both VFOs are on the same
frequency <G>! Maybe a lack of output will be sufficient "immediate
feedback".

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.
