Listening to K5D last night made it obvious to me (I'm slow...) the benefit of a sub-receiver. The exchanges that occur by the pursuers are impossible to find by switching back and forth between pursued and pursuer frequencies. I'm assuming that the pursued will take the next call somewhere near

Jim, Being in split mode and pressing *AND HOLDING* the REV button allows you to listen on the split frequency until you release the REV button. Us old Kenwood guys got used to the T-F Set button for this function. It's not as good as having a dual receiver, but you can develop the skill required

Another solution is to get an LP-PAN panadapter. This gives a great panadapter plus two PowerSDR receivers. This weekend I was able to monitor K5D on the K3 and/or the primary PowerSDR receiver and listen to (and watch) the pileup on the PowerSDR subreceiver. PowerSDR allows you to put the pileup
