Ain't it fun? Did basically the same thing this morning but instead of my K3, I fired up the KX3 and using my SPLIT macro (sets it up 2KHz). Had it on a non-resonant vertical and forgot to switch over to the beam. Heard a K6 just 2 KHz up from FT5ZM's TX frequency finish and I jumped in with a call -- BINGO! They came right back. First time I've gotten a DXpedition on one call with the KX3. (I've done it a few with the K3/KPA500 combination though.) I've had a lot of people ask me, "What good is the P3 anyway?" You just proved what I always tell them, "If you haven't got one, you'll never believe my answer."
