[Elecraft] K3: A>B two-step

[Howard Klein]

Vic,
I missed that. That's a bummer for me. When chasing a dx station in a pile up I would like to hear the dx and scan the frequencies looking for the station that is currently working him and be able to quickly transmit on that frequency. My reasoning changes some but my vote remains the same  73.
