[Elecraft] split pileup and listening was Pileups and KPA500/ST0R

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

Thanks everyone who responded.  I now have a basic understanding of 
split.  I have spent time re-reading the manual, info below and pondered 
all the responses.  Some off the list.

I have spend time playing with the knobs on the K3 and think I now have 
the basics under control.

To me this hobby is like drinking from a fire hose.

Thanks again for all the help, someday I hope I can answer questions 
like the folks on this group.

Cheers
