Why don't we get on with life. Split operation is implemented many ways by
different manufactures. Proper split operation is a combination of radio and
operator skills. We can do some things on the radio to improve operation, but
we can not change operator skills.
As I said, optimum split operation requires two radios. Single radio split
brings into the equation many variables. Those who can afford multi-radio
operation, try it. And the second radio does not have to be a real high
performance rig. Just make sure the TX portion has a good speech processor.

Well, I'm not sure I agree. Yes, there are three indicators, but they're all
quite small, and the delta-F LED is off to the side. These methods of
indicating split all seemed like a great idea at the time, but even I miss them
sometimes, so I'm interested in trying something else.
My proposed "split" and "non-split" text indications might solve the "didn't
see the indicators" problem, because they occupy so much more area of the front
panel (about 20 times more). That seems to be the crux of the issue: a lot of
operators want something *BIG* to change stage when they transmit, and that
something has to indicate whether they're in split or not.
This method also works whether you're doing "real" split (RX on VFO A, TX on
VFO B) or "sub-RX implied split" (TX on VFO A, RX with sub on VFO B).
