Rob,
Yes! It takes a little practice, but for DX in particular is helpful. Set your transmit frequency to his listening frequency and then listen on his transmit frequency. This helps prevent hearing a pileup on his transmit frequency. This will also allow him to sometimes transmit in the EXTRA portion of the band and be listening in the GENERAL. 73 ....

Heard P40FY from Aruba (?) and tried to work him. I remembered the emaIl 'split' lesson some of you taught me as I heard the op say, 'up 3,' at the end of his CQ tranmissions. I heard him on 18.160. I will assume 'up 3' meant he was listening on 18.163 ? I pulled the Nifty manual and figured out how to make split work. Did I assume correctly? I thought he heard me once but the band was in and out and never got confirmation. Just need to know if I have the assumption on split correct. Thanks all. 73, Rob, KC5RET
