I'm fully stocked with roofing filters, and I have the KPA500 and KAT500. Should my next purchase be a subreceiver or a panadapter, and why? 73 Don NA6Z K3 #5495

If you chase DX, the sub receiver makes it much easier to find the DX’ listening frequency — which means you can work him faster.

You can get some of the same effect by judiciously pressing the REV button, but using the sub receiver is way better.
