First I want to applaud all those guys that are better operators than us using just one receiver.
However when I started there were seperate TX and RX and then there was a Transceiver and I kept my Receiver. Interesting thing that 2nd RX. You put the DX on the RX and you find the guy talking to him with the transceiver and that is called a SLAM DUNK. When the Panadaptor came along we didn't have tune around looking for who DX was working we could SEE IT. I guess you can do the same darn thing reversing and A/Bing and using RIT or TIT or all this nonsense that is totally unnecessary if you have a 2nd RX. I guess what I am driving at here is there are many ways to skin the cat but the easiest way is with a 2nd RX and Panadaptor (pictures being worth 10 thousand words) But I do seriously give credit to those who prefer doing it the harder way. When I was rock bound in the good old days we had to tune up and down the band to find who ever may or may not be calling us. Long CQ's and longer replys to get the qso started. It's so much easier than that now. Same amount of fun still.
