Byron,
First, it is not possible to transmit on the Sub - it is receive only.
I don't know what you mean by "have the signals on both the main and
sub-receivers" - if you turn on the SUB, you will have the main in one
ear and the SubRX in the other.
You can hear signals in the main RX, and also in the SubRX (if you have
the SUB turned on). Normally the main RX frequency is displayed in VFO
A and the subRX frequency is in VFO B. Your transmit frequency will be
on VFO A unless you go SPLIT and then it changes to VFO B. If you have
any question about which VFO will be used for transmit, look at the
"arrow" to the right of the display - it points to the VFO that will be
used for transmit.
With the K3 in SPLIT, the transmit arrow will point to VFO B, and that
will be the frequency you will transmit on, so you would tune VFO A to
the DX and tune VFO B to the pileup to find the spot you wish to transmit.
With the SubRX on, you can accomplish the same thing without going into
SPLIT, but you will transmit on VFO A - tune that vfo to the pileup, and
with VFO B, tune to the DX station.
It is not complicated as long as you observe the transmit arrow display.
I prefer to tune through the pileup with the big knob and place my
transmit frequency at what I consider a good spot. The DX station does
not often move, so once I tune in the DX with the VFO B knob, there is
no reason to change VFO B.

For example, listening to a DX operator who is running split.
I would like to hear the DX on the Main, and both Listen and Transmit
on the Sub.
I've read and re-read a lot of pages, pressed a lot of button
combinations, but have yet to hear any signals on the sub-receiver.
When I A/B swap, I hear things on Main, but never on Sub.
I am new to the Elecraft style, so I might bemissing something obvious
to others.
