Could you elaborate a little bit on how the XFC function can be used when 
trying to work a DX station in a pile up?
I use DW to listen in on the DX station to know when he is transmitting 
(mostly using Full-BK) so I can stop xmitting. The other side of the receiver 
is used to listen in on the pile up, to see who the DX is working currently.
