[Elecraft] K3 and the subreceiver

[John K3TN]

Two simple benefits:

1. With just one antenna, when a DX station is working split (transmitting
on one frequency, listening on another) you can listen on his receive *and*
transmit frequency simultaneously when you are trying to work him. This
makes it much, much easier to figure out his listening frequency and pattern
to adjust your transmit frequency - gets you in and out of the pileup much
faster.

2. With a separate antenna on the sub-RX, you can turn on diversity RX:
listen to the same signal on the same freq with two different antennas.
Fades on one antenna are often filled in by rx from the other antenna.
Especially neat on weak signal bands like 160.

Definitely worth the $$ to me.
