[Elecraft] Re: Announcing the Elecraft K3 Transceiver: 10/100W, 160-6m,

A ham would work split with multiple receivers, among other things. 

The are a multitude of uses for a separate receiver, aside from working 
pile-ups. A second receiver allows one to listen to another band to search 
for DX, see if it's open, listen for a particular expedition on another 
band, etc., etc., etc... 

Why do you think all "competition class" transceivers offer at least a 
sub-receiver? Because people use them! ;) 

73, Fred!

P.S. I really wish I were able to go to Dayton this year! I'd love to paw 
that K3 in person! All I can say is: Wow! It's the next rig on my list...
