[WriteLog] Another documenation casualty command

[Eric Rosenberg]

The split command is great, but I offer two caveats: 

1.  The split only changes the frequency. It doesn't set the mode or any other parameter on my Orion. I was initially burned as I hadn't been using the "B" vfo and it was not set up. AARGH! 

2. There is no equivalent I've found to claer or reset the split. Got burned again while S+Ping and forgot that the "B" vfo had control of the TX freq!  

--> Is there a keystroke to reset the radio? 

FWIW, thanks to the wizardry of NS3T, I've re-mapped most of the keystrokes to the keyboard (using WL's very powerful keyboard shortcuts tool), labeled the keycaps with (3/8") P-Touch labels and have an A/B switch for my contesting and conventional keyboards. 

Works fabulously (thanks, Jamie).

Yes, its in the documentation, somewhere, if you search for split.

Discovered another "gee-wiz" bringing to count 3 things in the last 2 weeks now.

Along with the Shift-click for the invert in rtty, and the F12 to return you to your cq frequency..

I discovered the - (minus) key allows you to enter a split frequency.  Makes s/p on 40m ssb MUCH easier then tuning a knob.  For the unenlightened, welcome to tip number 3.
