Hello group,
Someone mentioned in one of the reflector emails that the new firmware under development will allow independent band switching/monitoring between VFO's without a sub receiver. Am I correct in my understanding then that without a sub receiver, this firmware will allow tuning and monitoring of separate bands? If that is indeed the case, can someone please clarify for me how that can accomplished with a single receiver? On a separate note, apart from diversity receive, I'm curious to know how other people are utilizing their sub receiver? The reason I ask is I'm finalizing my purchase of a K3, and am trying to determine whether it's necessary to fully load up both receivers now. At this point, I'm ready to purchase 2 general coverage modules plus 2 each of the following filters: 250KHz, 400KHz, 2.8Khz, 6KHz, 13KHz. I'd like to have the ability to monitor PSK31, FM or SW broadcast on the sub, while monitoring phone or engaging in a phone QSO on the main; both receivers being on separate bands. That's just one example. Another could be to monitor SW broadcast on the main while listening to 10m FM on the sub. Do I need to install the AM or FM filters in the sub to monitor SW or FM or can the sub's DSP take care of it? 73, James KC2UEE
