And I do not have any issue with the K3 not going split with RTTY on one freq and CW/SSB on the other. You have to admit operating RTTY and SSB/CW split is not exactly a common mode.
However, it would be appropriate when initiating SPLIT from the A->B button that VFO B mode be forced to that of VFO A if VFO A is digital and the frequency of VFO B be forced to that of VFO A if VFO B is on a different band rather than SPLIT N/A. Unlike Ian, I would not want the VFO B *frequency* changed (e.g., Quick Split) as long as it was on the current band since I'm just as likely to have set it manually even if I have not set the mode and the "Smart Split" splits will invariably be different mode to mode (up 1 in CW, UP 2 in RTTY, UP 5 in SSB, etc.) and band to band. 73, ...

Frank, Like yourself, I do quite a bit of DX RTTY operation using split, and to tell you the truth, I just tried what you are talking about, and you are right! To me honest with you, I hadn't noticed it before because I have a nasty habit of "double pushing" the SPLIT button before holding it to engage split. This relative simple operation of double pushing the SPLIT button transfers everything from A to B; then pushing the SPLIT button works just fine. Am curious what "a whole lot of button pushing" means to you? Personally, I don't consider double pushing the same button I use to go split once, before holding the same button to be "extremely annoying". And I do not have any issue with the K3 not going split with RTTY on one freq and CW/SSB on the other. You have to admit operating RTTY and SSB/CW split is not exactly a common mode. SSB and CW split (though not common) does occur. In any case, I hope you do not "dump" your K3 because you find a double push, and then a "hold" to be that much of an annoyance.

I do not get this message when changing modes from CW to SSB or SSB to CW. Since I am primarily a DXer who works split having to change from split operation before mode change and then change back to split operation requires a whole lot of button pushing. This is extremely annoying almost to he point of considering selling the K3. Elecraft told me this was for my own protection. I don't need a company to tell me this is for my own protection and not willing to make a product easy to operate. I hope someone out there is radio land has a firmware fix for this annoying issue. Otherwise I have enjoyed operating the K3 for the last year. Thanks in advance.
