Wayne,
I think that would be unnecessarily irritating for normal use with the
frequency display blinking.
I actually like what happens on the K2 (which displays only one VFO).
In SPLIT or XIT, the display changes to the transmit VFO frequency - and
the resultant 'blinking' is quite obvious.
How about when NOT in split, the display flashes UPLID, alternating with the
frequency? :-)

When attempting to break a pileup, the reason to use the conventional SPLIT

One should not expect great time-keeping accuracy from that.
