[Elecraft] K3 - panadapter or subreceiver

[Robert G. Strickland]

I have never used either a panadapter or a sub-receiver, so I'm a newbie 
in this area. I use CW almost exclusively, and I chase DX and enter 
contests [less so in the past, more in the future]. I have a "small 
pistol" station with no allusions of being a band master. Question: 
which of these two options might I find more useful for my station and 
operating preferences? Yes, I can have them both in my K3, but if I had 
to choose, which one would seem preferable? Thanks for all opinions.
