[Elecraft] [K3] If you are a DXer, you need the KRX3!

There is no substitute for a second receiver for getting through 
pileups. For years I have been switching back and forth between VFOs (on 
various rigs), trying to spot the guy the DX is working. This has gotten 
harder and harder as the liddy practice of calling continuously 
regardless of what the DX station is doing has become popular.

Since I got the KRX3, it's become much easier. This morning I worked one 
of the VU4's on 40 meters through a thick and very unruly pileup -- on 
the first call! I think the KRX3 made this possible.

VU4 is difficult from the West Coast, and it is a new one for me. My 40 
meter antenna is a mere dipole at 40 feet, although I admit I was 
running 800 watts. It was still a thrill!
