>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.
You can also lock VFO A independently of B so that you don't
accidentally move off the DX station. If I recall correctly, the
TS-930S would lock both A and B when you did this. Also you can
have different roofing filters on A and B (which track the WIDTH
setting of the DSP), so you can listen on VFO A for the DX station
with a 200 Hz filter and tune the pileup with the 2.7k filter.
If I recall correctly the K2 worked similarly...and much of
the K2's excellent ergonomic legacy is carried over to the K3. It's
so nice to have a rig designed by people who actually use it and who
are very receptive to user inputs.
