During these recent DXpeditions I've hear more "wrong VFO" transmissions than 
ever. What is this going on? Yes, some because we're all getting older and 
forget which button was tapped last but there are lots more than just this as 
the reason for the wrong foot forward in this tap dancing process.

Since there is discussion about improvement for split and sub receiver 
operation I think the subject also should be reviewed for single 
receiver/transmit operation. Is there any way firmware could be added to 
prevent transmitting on either VFO, A or B if it were on set to prevent 
transmit (by error) on a known frequency where the DX is tranmitting? When 
setting up to chase the DX-pedition if I could set up my K3/K2 to not allow 
transmitting on an identified frequency I'd be more relaxed and enjoy the 
chase. 

I know that there are many DXers with different kinds of radios and are sure 
suffering from this similar problem in the feeding frenzy dance operation of 
Find, Tap and pounce..... 

There should be a way to Find the DX, Hit TX inhibit for the frequency.
