K3, no sub RX, P3:  VFO A=DX freq.  Tap A=B.  Hold SPLIT. Move B into 
pileup [doesn't matter where, just tune the B cursor up, you can't miss 
it :-) ].  Listen to DX while he's listening.  When he calls someone, 
watch pileup.  One signal [OK, probably more than one if it's 7O6X] will 
pop up.  Put B on signal.  When DX sends TU, call.  If you don't get him 
on the first try, you will on the second.  Like shooting fish in a barrel.
