[Elecraft] Sub-RX Feature or Spilt Operation

[Phil & Debbie Salas]

"I know the sub-receiver is not available yet....nor is my money...but that 
is another issue all together.  I digress....  Uh...when I was working 
Ducie, the DUAL-WATCH feature of my 756PROII came in real handy, and I 
understand the "stock" K3 cannot do that.  From reading the manual, to 
operate split that "B" is the Xmit and you can listen on "B" by using the 
REV button and holding it to listen.  Is that correct?  And, for those 
people who use a K3, how did that work for you?  Is it a clean operation? 
I've done that before with other rigs, but the DUAL-WATCH is pretty cool.  I 
guess the only way the K3 will do that is with the sub-receiver.  One thing 
I do like is seperate VFO dials on the K3 which the PROII does not have. 
And then there is the cost of more filters for the sub-receiver.  Got to 
save some more dollars.  Comments?  Lee - K0WA"

I worled 'em just using XIT.  But a sub-receiver would be great.  I got used 
to having a sub-receiver on my MKV, and am looking forward to getting one in 
my K3.  Now, if you want to save some $s on filters, you need to decide if 
you even need extra filters.  I don't have any extra filters so far.  Since 
I am not working in a nearby high power contest environment, and don't have 
any close neighbors running high power, the lack of additional filters 
hasn't seemed to cause me any grief.  The K3 DSP filtering is superb!
