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.
