I guess my message wasn't clear. Sorry. I agree with your details on the graphical display however the actual TX frequency isn't displayed when in the conventional split mode. That was my point NOT the details on the "clues" via that little arrow pointing to VFO B and the yellow light for delta F. They only tell you that you are in split mode not where you're transmitting. Get it?

When in split mode there are two indicators that your Tx frequency is
different.
Three actually.
1. is the arrow pointing down to (B) on VFO B.
2. is the SPLT indicator just above VFO B.
3. is the yellow light over delta-f meaning your Tx and Rx frequency is
different.
You get #3 if you use RIT/XIT without being SPLIT
You get #1 thru #3 if you use SPLIT

At the end of the day I'm still left believing that in the Split configuration displayed with TX on VFO B and RX on the larger VFO A, that there should be a way to always display the transmit frequency and especially while transmitting. In fact, unless I'm missing something as a newbie to the K3, the transmit frequency is not displayed while transmitting on CW and may not be displayed in the VFO B area while sitting idle. On my K3 the CW text decoder is in the VFO B display area of the LCD unless I touch the VFO B knob. An option that would allow the CW decoder to be shut off so the transmit frequency can be displayed would be a fix that might wake me (us?) up before actually transmitting on an unintended frequency. The text decoder is a nice feature but probably isn't as important to CW DXer's during the heat of chasing a hot one. On SSB the transmit frequency is always displayed on VFO B thus th
