That is exactly how I got V73D as well... Watching him on the P3 work people, and pre-positioning myself in front of him... -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net For MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info For Dopplergram

Then just wait for some poor person to transmit on top of the DX, in error, and look for all the band cops sending UP UP UP, and you can find the DX frequency as well. :) -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net For MixW support see;

I wonder if a CW skimmer would work as well or even better, assuming that it can pick out the call signs. Of course that would only work for CW DX. Ken WA8JXM On 10/14/15 9:27 AM, w7aqk wrote: I just worked V73D, but not sure how I would have done it without using the 2nd RX. I love my P3,

Hi All, I just worked V73D, but not sure how I would have done it without using the 2nd RX. I love my P3, but for DX stuff the 2nd RX always seems to be the difference. In this case, V73D was moving up slightly after just about every QSO, and not sure the P3 tells you that! The DX clusters

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
