What helps me a lot in cw pileup situations, is to set the filter width of the 2nd rx to as wide as it will go (2.8 KHz in my case), and tighten up the filter on the main receiver listening to the DX station. The wide filter on the pileup makes it much easier to quickly find the station currently being worked.
I use both the P3 and KRX3 and wouldn't want to be without either, but considering the sadly frequent lack of good operating practice these days, you'll have the greatest chance of identifying the station being worked by using the 2nd rx. 73, Dale WA8SRA > Hi All, > > There has been a fair amount of discussion here about which accessory for > the K3 trumps the other --a P3 or a 2nd RX.
