From reading the manual, to operate split that "B" is the Xmit and
you can listen on "B" by using the REV button and holding it to
listen.
Is that correct? And, for those people who use a K3, how did that
work for you? Is it a clean operation?
Yes, that's how it works. You can use one hand to hold the REV button
and turn the knob, with a little practice.
It works as well as any radio with a single receiver can. You can switch
back and forth rapidly, but you can't listen to both VFOs at the same time.

My old TS-940 had the same thing only they called it T-F button. It was
a pain to hold the button in for very long. I thought the up/dwn buttons
on the mic were rather silly with a big VFO knob just inches away so I
brought the T-F button out to the mic jack. Since I use a Heil headset,
I made a small box with 3 pushbutton switches. 1 for PTT, 1 for VFO A/B
switch and 1 for the T-F function (listen on VFO B). I could just sit
back with the box in my hand and not have to reach up to the radio.
Worked very well!
