There is a setting outlined in the README buried under version 6.64. It
is
the BANDMAP SPLIT MODE option. The choices are either BY CUTOFF
FREQUENCY
(default) which uses the BAND MAP CUTOFF FREQUENCY table, or ALWAYS
PHONE
which I use. In my experience it is much more rare for a station to be
running a contest split in CW.

I would need an arm twisting for this one. Surely doable though. I could
make
the gap time a variable when doing the calculation. It would be hard to
justify
spending much time on it right at the moment.
