The KX3 will have "dual watch" over a limited range, possibly as small  
as 10 kHz, though we'll aim for something wider. This would be enough  
for CW split operation. Filter bandwidths and certain other features  
will have different constraints in this mode.

The K3, of course, has a fully independent sub receiver. This provides  
completely flexible "dual watch," as well as simultaneous receive on  
two different bands and diversity receive. The latter is not possible  
on rigs with only dual watch, because it requires two antenna inputs.
