[Elecraft] Split receiving and 2 ears

[Chuck Guenther]

Saw this excellent suggestion the other day, and waited a few days to 
try it out before commenting.  I've had the sub Rx in my K3 for a couple 
of years now, and always had it setup for a-b.  I was frequently turning 
off the sub Rx to hear the DX in both ears.  The a-ab setting helps a 
lot-- don't know how I passed over this setting.  It's tips like this 
that make this Elecraft Reflector worthwhile.  Thanks, Peter!

One thing I would add here is the L-Mix-R setting in the config menu, which controls which VFOs go in which ear. As a DXer who loves working pileups, I can tell you the best combination for me is A-Ab; meaning VFO A Audio (the DX station transmitting) is present in the left ear, and mixed in with the pileup (VFO-B) audio in the right ear.

You can adjust that setting to taste (make sure you have the Sub-RX enabled first when you go into that menu item), but for me, A-Ab is the way to go. Try the different combinations to see which works best for you.
