That doesn't address the issue of resetting the VFO B mode when
pressing split (or when an external program commands split) if the
modes are different e.g., SSB vs. DATA or CW vs. DATA or the VFOs
are on different bands (VFO IND = YES).

In a recent discussion about SPLIT, many proposals were made (too
many :) Others argued for no change.
With this in mind, we've created a new "switch macro" feature. It
allows you to create your own variation on SPLIT -- or any other radio
function -- and execute it with a single switch press. In effect,
you'll be creating your own custom firmware for the K3 that automates
control sequences you use most.
Example #1 (SPLIT+2):
A>B
A>B
SPLIT
VFO B up 2
RIT and XIT off
Example #2 (WEAKSIG):
Sub ON
Diversity mode
main/sub preamps on
200-Hz bandwidth
center passband
Many other combinations are possible, limited only by the K3's remote-
control command set and the macro length limit (presently 56 bytes).
You'll be able to set VFO frequencies or RIT/XIT offsets, adjust gain
or filter controls, and virtually "tap" or "hold" nearly any control
on the radio.
First, you enter a sequence of K3 control commands into one or more
macros using K3 Utility, which can store them in the K3's EEPROM.
Next, you assign the macros to any of the K3's 10 programmable
function switches (PF1, PF2, M1-M4 tap, or M1-M4 hold) using the new
MACRO menu entry.
After that, activating the switch will perform the desired functions,
and the name of the macro will flash on VFO B as a reminder (e.g.,
"SPLIT+2").

Many K3 (and KX3) owners are using such macros to obtain exactly the splits
that they prefer.
