[Elecraft] P3 or Sub Rx?

[Wes (N7WS)]

Regrettably, the JAs are "catching up" to the EUs, but generally true.

As to the original question, I use neither, but do have the near equivalent of 
the P3. an SDR-IQ used as a panadapter.  Although this could be used as a second 
RX, I have enough difficulty listening to one RX, I don't need to be further 
confused with a second.

A couple of more QSLs for 30-meter QSOs and I will have 8-band DXCC. I have DXCC 
Mixed, CW, Phone and RTTY and I'm 3 away from top of the Honor Roll with my 
modest station (http://qrz.com/db/N7WS)  Nevertheless,I still don't know which 
of categories below I fit into other than it's not B.
