Wayne,
I think that would be unnecessarily irritating for normal use with the
frequency display blinking.
I actually like what happens on the K2 (which displays only one VFO).
In SPLIT or XIT, the display changes to the transmit VFO frequency - and
the resultant 'blinking' is quite obvious.
What would be wrong with displaying the transmit VFO in the larger upper
frequency display area (even if it is also displayed in the smaller
frequency display area). The result is a blinking display when SPLIT or
XIT is engaged.

Useful analysis, Rich. I agree this might cause some confusion.
Here's a simpler variation. Suppose we give operators the option of briefly flashing the entire transmit VFO
frequency off/on once each time you start keying? This would duplicate the intent of the "TX"
arrow, which points to either "A" or "B" but is small enough to get lost unless you're
looking right at it. No new semantics -- just a more visible TX VFO indication.
This wouldn't tell you whether you're in split mode. But flashing the A vs. B
displays would look quite different to the eye, so you'd quickly get used to
looking for the right one as confirmation of your intent.
