How about a K3 + SUBRX plus SDR/ROCKY or SDR/SKIMMER combo. Either SDR has very easy to setup software.
Much cheaper than P3. For cracking a big pileup, one needs some way of ID'ing the frequency of the last N stations the DX worked. A panadapter might or might not work well-- guys calling constantly. You might get lucky some percent on the time. It generally almost requires IDing the stations last worked. Options are: ears (sub-rx- a one knob approach) or SKIMMER in the CW mode. QSK helps too. 73 de Brian/K3KO Ken Kopp wrote: > I added the second receiver for one reason ... monitoring > six meters for openings.
