[Elecraft] Sub-RX Feature or Spilt Operation

[Jim]

It's workable. Worked Ducie split on several bands and 12 meters without the
amp on. Yes, REV, like older Icoms & the new 7700. It works.

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?
