I have been following the "XIT" thread and want to add my 2 Pesos. I
rarely use the XIT except in contests. Many guys/girls dont zero beat
and so they can be waaay off frequency. This past weekend during the
WPX contest when Searching and Pouncing (S&P) I would run across
stations who "CQed" in my face when I was zero beat and hear them come
back to stations as much as .20 below their freq. That's when I would
run the XIT down to match where their last qso took place and
successfully work the guy. Much quicker and faster than hitting split
in this case. Another time is when the other station has his filters
cranked down really tight and I have to move my transmit freq to get
inside his passband. Most contesters use 500 or even 700 hz filters when
"running" and let their brain be the final filter. It's amazing how
many more stations one can work using this technique!
