[Elecraft] KX3/K3 Operating Tip: Working a pileup using dual watchinstead of SPLIT

[Cady, Fred]

I'm a little confused. This seems to imply there is a DUAL RX menu
function in the K3. Don't you mean DUAL RX is a menu item in the KX3
that provides the same functionality as tapping SUB in the K3? 

Cheers and 73,
Fred KE7X
