[Elecraft] P3 Vs. 2nd RX

Hi All,

I just worked V73D, but not sure how I would have done it without using the 
2nd RX.  I love my P3, but for DX stuff the 2nd RX always seems to be the 
difference.  In this case, V73D was moving up slightly after just about 
every QSO, and not sure the P3 tells you that!  The DX clusters don't really 
help that much.  By the time you see the split indicated, it has probably 
changed a good bit.  If I didn't have the 2nd RX, I would be dependent on 
"outhouse luck" or brute force, neither of which is a strong suit here!  Hi. 
By the way, my QSO's with the TX3X gang were also quick and relatively easy 
thanks to the 2nd RX.  Anyway, both tools are great, but I suggest adding 
the 2nd RX first, if only one can be added at the moment--at least if 
working DX is your goal.
