[Elecraft] P3 v SubRX

[Dauer, Edward]

Don ‹

I agree with Dave.  I have both - the SubRX from the beginning and the P3
a year or so later.  I have become addicted to the P3; but can¹t remember
using the SubRX for anything other than chasing DX in pileups.  Even in
contests, where operating a significant split is usually a no-no, the XIT
alone has been enough while the subRX imposes a small but noticeable hit
on weak-signal sensitivity.  But I am strictly CW - there may be
advantages in other modes.
