Reading the cocoaModem documentation, it looks like the DualRTTY 
mode will decode from both the right and left channels of the 
input. Since I don't have a sub-receiver in my K3, I can't test 
that it actually works, but being able to decode the pileup 
while monitoring the DX should be as nice in RTTY as it is in CW 
and SSB. (Yes, I really appreciate the dual watch feature of the KX3.)

I don't know if there are any programs for Linux or Windows that 
will do dual decode.
