Sub receiver

[John's email]

Ok guys, I get it. I've always worked split with dual vfos but I see the advantage of the ability to hear the other guys instead of shooting blind and hoping the dx staion picks me up.
If you don't have something, you don't know you need it!  I'll put the sub receiver on the "buy" list.
(should have asked more for my K2)

You probably have noticed, there are a lot of Elecraft missionaries lurking
in the weeds here.

Undoubtedly the sub-rcvr is a lot more convenient for this purpose,
but you can follow the split action pretty well using dual VFO and REV
button on a single receiver. With a little practice you can spin the
VFO with your thumb while momentarily depressing the REV button with
the middle or index finger.

On CW if you have a good ear for pitch it is pretty easy to track the
stations that the DX is working and repeatedly set your transmit
frequency to where he is moving. LOCK your VFOA so you don't detune it
in the heat of the pursuit. Also, keep your VFOB filter wide open so
you can hear a good swath of the pileup at once. This is a lot of fun.
