Hello folks, Newbie Dave, K6WDE/KH6 with my Elecraft KX3. Question: Dual Watch versus Split Mode, which is best? Is is personal preference? Yes, I did read the Elecraft Operating Note - Working a Pile-Up using the Dual Watch feature on the KX3 article. I am still confused though.
As I understand it, for: SPLIT Split has a wider range of frequencies to utilize beyond the +/- 15kHz limitation of Dual Watch. VFO A (DX station) on the left and VFO B (calling station, me) on the right headphone. DUAL WATCH VFO A (DX station) on the right and VFO B (me) on the left headphone. Easier to tune up and down with the big tuning knob as I try to catch the DX station (instead of the little tuning knob). I must be missing something. I’ve used Split quite successfully and tried Dual Watch but they just seem to be the reverse of each other. When running a KX3, I need all the help when attempting to break through the pileups (especially here on the island)! Aloha, More static, more of the time … Dave Esquer, K6WDE [email protected] http://www.qrz.com/db/K6WDE ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
