Appears split is disabled for the VHF/UHF/Microwave features. Perhaps
it should grey out the selection in the radio tab and/or turn split

Happens on my Omni VII too so it's true for all rigs.
Split is used for other things in VHF & up mode. Doppler correction and
working stations off a calling frequency for two.
The change in WSJT-X in 1.6 was to use the single split command to
Commander (instead of WSJT-X doing all the VFO switching) which then
does not handle it well with the K3.
Commander has never offered low level rig control commands, it abstracts
the rig at a higher level and we expect it to do the right thing. There
have been problems with some rigs and interfaces, especially when we try
and manage the mode of the rig. A recent as yet unreleased change to
Commander (v12.2.6) adds a new option to leave the mode of the split Tx
VFO alone when we don't want to change it. The changes I checked in
yesterday include code to take advantage of this new Commander option
when WSJT-X "Settings->Radio->Mode" is "None". Until this feature some
rigs like the K3 when used with microHam MK2 type interfaces have been
problematic, hopefully those users can now set "Mode" to "None" and have
Commander leave the rig's mode settings alone when used with WSJT-X.
I maintain that's DXKeeper's problem to fix if their split command
misbehaves. WSJT-X "could" fix it but it's in more in DXKeeper's
interest to fix it.
You can maintain what you like but until the other layers out of our
direct control offer the required features, there's not a great deal we
can do. The DX LabSuite Commander TCP/IP command reference is included
in the contrib directory of WSJT-X if you want to review the protocol
offered.
BTW DXKeeper is a FB logging program in the DX Lab Suite, it is not
involved in this. The issue was with Commander which is the rig control
component of the DX Lab Suite.
