Exactly as Bill describes it! The manual is very easy to follow, but
you need the patience to do it step by step.
Having used my KRX3 on 160 since QRN levels have dropped, I would
not want
to be without it. I distinctly recall several QSOs in the Stew
Perry Warmup
this weekend where diversity saved repeats due to QSB. I remember
one QSO
where the DX signal shifted from left to right in my headset as he was
sending the exchange. If I had been listening on either antenna
alone, I
would not have copied it without asking for a repeat due to the
rapid QSB.
I believe ours was one of those contacts, I was working the warmup
using my SE0X call and I was definitely hearing U better in my end.
But QSB was deep and you where up and down in the noise level. For
practical reasons I was not using diversity, but I have the same
experience as you. The second RX is really worth the investment and
the downtime to install it. I have matched 2.7 and .500 filters in
mine and it works great!
