I have done this for all 5 band slots, on both modes, I have worked 
VP6DX on so far including 20 CW just now. Likewise I am used SO2V on the 
sub rx in my FT1kMP, (presumably that's what you mean by Dual Watch?) . 
The main problem is not the K3 but is the stations in the pile-up. It is 
ever so simple. If he sends your callsign you transmit, if he doesn't 
send your callsign you don't transmit! What bit of that don't they 
understand?!
