Agreed, Bill.  On other transceivers, I really do not need a second Rx as 
long as separate b/w can be assigned to each VFO.  I think a good op can 
manipulate the VFOs every bit as effectively as one with two Rx -- and I am 
by no means a great DX op.

This feature was a real benefit with the Ten Tec Omni VI/VI+ that the 
current Omni VII lacks but should be incorporated in a forthcoming firmware 
update.  Without this ability, operating DX-split without the second Rx is a 
pretty painful experience.  I am pleased to hear this is already part of the 
K3 feature set.
