Howard,

Not sure what rig you are using, but here is what I do on the TS-2000:

Say the DX is on 14.001 and listening up 1.  Tune to 14.001 and hit the A=B 
button, this  puts both VFO's on the same frequency and mode.  Tune up the 
band to 14.002.   Now one VFO is on his TX and the other is on his RX 
frequency.   Hit the split button to put you into split operation and hit 
A/B to reverse the VFO's.   Now  your RX freq is  back on the first VFO  of 
14.001  and your TX VFO is on his RX freq of 14.002.

The fact that you can't key in split makes me wonder if you are not getting 
both VFO's into CW mode.   Hitting the A=B button will ensure that both 
VFO's start on the same mode and freq.  Worked K5D 8 times last week, so it 
works well for me here.
