One anomaly which I've just observed with my K3S. I did set the
software as suggested for SPLIT mode for WSJT-X / JT-65. The radio
followed as expected. I made a few contacts successfully with this
configuration. When I closed WSJT-X I noted it left the radio in SPLIT
mode. I can just see all of the confusion and frustration not to
mention unintentional QRM created by this occurrence. Another trap to
watch for.
Probably in my case, even a better reason not to use SPLIT. In other
words, it isn't idiot proof and I've been accused as being as dumb as a
box of rocks.

No argument but some folks, particularly those new to WSJTX, read the WSJTX
user manual and follow it. Also split mode is "encouraged" on the WSJT
group.
Split Operation: Significant advantages result from using Split mode
(separate VFOs for Rx and Tx) if your radio supports it. If it does not,
WSJT-X can emulate such behavior. Either method will result in a cleaner
transmitted signal, by keeping the Tx audio always in the range 1500 to
2000 Hz so that audio harmonics cannot pass through the Tx sideband filter.
Select Rig to use the radio’s Split mode, or Fake It to have WSJT-X adjust
the VFO frequency as needed, when T/R switching occurs. Choose None if you
do not wish to use split operation.
