Do you have problems seeing red? The P3 will show
a RED cursor for the transmit frequency when the K3
is split (or if RTI/XIT is turned on).
I don't understand why someone would want to lose a
significant amount of data displayed in the waterfall
when the red transmit cursor is so prominent.

What you say is true, I can not disagree.
I will say that absent-mindedness is the
bane of humanity and nobody can remember
all the right things to do, all of the
time. No matter how hard we like to think
of ourselves as doing the perfectly right
thing, some incredibly competent person,
somewhere, is making a mistake at this
moment.
Since transmitting on the Dx Tx frequency
is one of the deadly sins, creating the
extra step to make it not happen is a good
thing.
Just today I clicked on a RTTY spot I
needed, tuned them in on the scope, set
the VFO to where I wanted to transmit. All
was good... I gave my call 4-5 times till
some ass insulted me calling me a name,
sending UP UP and then another
ass-relative of theirs called me names.
I thought I was in split with the marker
in the P3 dead on where I wanted to
transmit. All was set except I hadn't
dedicated that A>B button to "split". If
in my P3 screen I saw the word SPLIT in
the waterfall, I would know I was in
split. Just having a flashing LED or some
1/2" x 1/4" high below the power button
saying SPLIT is just not enough for me to
come close to being 100% on this.
I suspect most of the honest answers you'd
get here says people have made this
mistake. I'm for an in your face option to
make it clear when you are in split. Don't
want it? Don't enable it. Want to be sure?
enable it...

The real fix is to just pay attention, and read the screen.
I spent years in IT where if people just seemed unable to simply read the
screen.
It's the same here with the split, people just need to pay attention to what
they're doing.

Or, we could replace the *entire* VFO A display with the word "SPLIT"
during
key-down. This would be even more obvious, and it wouldn't mess up the
VFO B
display. VFO B is what you care about during split TX.
Why not just have the DVR say "UP, UP" whenever you transmit in split mode.
Save wear and tear on the KC Kops.
