[Elecraft] SPL N/A with everybody on CW?

[Brett Howard]

I've privately received several messages from some stating that they are
holding off on buying the KRX3 until this cross band split works.  Guess
I wish I'd known that it wouldn't work before dropping an additional
$1100 in KRX3 adn additional filters to have this capability for Field
Day this year.  Oh well at least the matching filters will allow for
diversity receive.  

At least its Elecraft and I do know that this feature will some day be
available.  Now it just becomes a wait for this feature to bubble to the
top of the list.  

Thanks to all who responded that they've been watching for this feature.
