Hola Jorge! 1. Diversity RX. I use Beverages on my Main RX and a RX4SQ on the Sub RX. Useful for improving RX in one direction or listening in a different direction in contests. 2. Another nice application is using CW Skimmer to spot your TX frequency near the last station worked in a large split pileup. You can even do this without listening to the pileup itself...only clicking on the last "599" on the Skimmer display. See the last graphic below. The only trick to doing this is that the TX frequency must be assigned to the Main VFO and DX frequency to the Sub VFO, since IF OUT always tracks the Main VFO (unless you do a hardware and software modification) so clicking the "599" sends your TX to that frequency. http://dxatlas.com/CwSkimmer/ (see "599" in bottom graphic) 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/why-KRX3-SUB-RX-tp7581533p7581545.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
