[Elecraft] ZLX8 - K3 firmware

[Amateur Radio Operator N5GE]

That's a good question!

I believe that the sub RX is the first priority.  You have to be able to hear
his QSX frequency to know you're transmitting in the right place.

The P3 does help to see the signal of the guy who he answered last transmitting.

I was able to work ZL8X on two bands today by using the P3's marker
functionality to quickly pounce on a position a little up or down from the last
signal he worked.  Most DX ops that listen off frequency from their TX don't
listen in one spot.  They move back and forth to avoid the middle of the pile
up.  When you discover which way he's going to move next, that's when you can
nail him ;o)  But, alas, a lot of other ops are doing that too...
