I must admit, I tend to use my eyes on the P3 and then confirm 
what I see by listening on the sub-receiver. Of course, when the 
DX is very weak, I need diversity to be able to hear him, hence 
the 3rd receiver.

My standard DXing pose is eyes glued to the P3, looking for the 
last caller and for open spaces to squeeze in a signal. Just 
going to the frequency of the last caller doesn't work really 
well because everyone else is there.
