Just did the update late last night, and while I haven't  done much with 
the radio thus far, I do like the easy split setup.   Tune to the DX 
station's frequency, hold in the split button while  hitting a number on 
the keypad corresponding to the  split you want.   If you hit "5" for 
example, the RX VFO will  be up 5 and the voice will say "TX 5 kilohertz 
up".  I also understand that a leading zero will put the split down: 
entering  0 5 will put the RX VFO down 5.
