This is possible, even likely I think - but I NEVER hit ALT-F3 while
transmitting.
Perhaps, though, CT gets a incorrect SPLIT dataset if you use ALT-F3 too
soon after entering the data or coming out of transmit? 

Regardless of why it gets into the reversed state (or the DX G3ABC 0.0 QSX
0.0 state), it CAN be "set right" with some manipulation - seems some kind
of VFO "change" (tuning the dial, toggling the A/B or the SPLIT) can "fix"
it. I didn't document it. I usually nuked the spot attempt.

Oh well, no one wanted to see another G3 spot anyway...
