In my opinion the K3 already does a more than adequate job of indicating
split.
The Delta LED is Eye catching enough. Mind you my P3 is to the left of
My K3 thus the LED certainly within my eye-line when operating.
However from the point of view of a standalone radio it might make
better sense if the Delta LED was just to the right of the main display,
but I am sure there are good design reasons why this is not the case.
Fundamentally however we have an operating problem, far too many jump
straight into a pileup without first listening to see what is happening.
Taking a little time to listen first always pays dividends in terms of
working the dx and lessens the chance of footshooting.
If I was to suggest one change it would be for an option to prevent the
Delta LED coming on when small amounts or RIT/XIT are applied, Even 1 Hz
of RIT or XIT applied activates it, thus training the operator to pay
less attention to the Yellow LED.
Perhaps an option to only enable the Delta LED when the TX/RX offset is
greater than 200Hz or 500Hz ?
In IT we have a technical term for a certain type of problem that
involves the operator, it's PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And
Chair )
I too have occasionally been the problem in pileups but it's my fault,
it's PEBKAC and not the fault of the radio.
