[Elecraft] P3 or KRX3

[Brian Alsop]

How about a K3 + SUBRX plus SDR/ROCKY or SDR/SKIMMER combo.  Either SDR 
has very easy to setup software.

Much cheaper than P3.

For cracking a big pileup, one needs some way of ID'ing the frequency of 
the last N stations the DX worked.

A panadapter might or might not work well-- guys calling constantly. 
You might get lucky some percent on the time.

It generally almost requires IDing the stations last worked. Options 
are: ears (sub-rx- a one knob approach) or SKIMMER in the CW mode.

QSK helps too.
