The 599 does have a SPLIT function. According to the Eagle manual: To operate SPLIT mode simply press and hold the A/B button for 2 seconds. The word SPLIT will appear next to the B VFO which also indicates the frequency you will be transmitting on. Remember when in SPLIT mode you will always be transmitting on VFO B.
