I'm an HF CW type who *does* use it, because I often (not always) want 
to keep the sub-receiver set up differently from the main rx. Very often 
I have the main rx set for 100 Hz. bandwidth to hear a weak DX station 
while the sub rx is set to 1kHz. to find the station he is working more 
easily.

On the other hand, sometimes I want them the same, and I can chose just 
by tapping the key once or twice.
