[Elecraft] P3 Vs. 2nd RX

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Dave,

As you described, having both a Sub RX and a P3 are a great asset for
working split operations. One area where the P3 excels is finding a quiet
spot to transmit. It's not always as obvious with the Sub RX. With a modest
station it may not be beneficial to jump on the exact frequency of the last
QSO. A clear frequency can be a better choice.

73,
Mike K2MK
