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 managed to transmit on the DX frequency in my early days. (A kindly ham read my QRZ page, realized I was quite new to this kind of operation, and called me on the telephone to do a little elmering. I am still very grateful to him.)

I was using the SVGA on my P3 where the difference between red and magenta is somewhat subtle. (If I had looked at the P3 screen, it would have been much more obvious.) 20-20 hindsight says that perhaps the VFO-B cursor should have been yellow, turning to red when in split. There may be even better choices when we consider working for color blind people.
