[Elecraft] KRX3 vs APF on weak signals ??

[callen1155]

Hello folks.

I operate cw 98% of the time.
After 'rag chewing' for several years I'm becoming more interested in
DX'ing. Also I'm eager to try my luck on 160 meters despite my QTH and
antenna restrictions.

I've been considering purchasing the KRX3 (second receiver) for a year or
more. 

However with the recent firmware upgrades and now the APF (audio peaking
filter) feature on the standard K3 I'm wondering if the second receivers
'diversity receive'  capability would be that much superior to the APF for
weak/fading signals?  

(My results vary using the APF; abort 1/3 of the time it helps, 1/3 of the
time I get  'clearer' copy with very narrow DSP bandwidth and no APF...  the
final 1/3 is a no copy either way.)

If the APF approaches the effectiveness of the KRX3 on weak/fading sigs I
may just go for a P3 instead.

Thanks for any advice.
