[Elecraft] sub receiver

[ke4d at att.net]

I've had my ticket since 1974 (WN4IKG)  I have owned over 25 rigs but never had one with two receivers. I 've always worked split with two VFOs but after a few emails from you guys and thinking about it (brain taxing) I can see where the second receiver would be useful. When I was working the HK0NA group, I just transmitted where they said they were listening but they had about a 10 kHz spread so it was a guess whether they would hear me or not. It would be nice to know exactly where they are listening.  Thanks for the advice.  Love the reflector.  
Shipped my K2 off this morning and sold my IC 7000 last weekend. I am sans rig until this afternoon when UPS comes!
I haven't been without a rig in I don't know how long!  Its lonely.

My K3/100 kit arrives tomorrow. I did not order the sub receiver. I have
only a vertical here and have some antenna restrictions (height) I use a
SteppIR BigIR and it works great for me with my height restriction. So,
unless one of you can explain to me why I should have the sub receiver with
only one antenna, I'm leaving it the with one! I'm sure I don't understand
receiver diversity since I never heard of it until recently. Guide me!
