k3 SO2V

[Elecraft mailing list]

hi

recently purchased and built a k3S, without the SUB RX.
i was under the impression that you could RX on the same band but on VFO
A and VFO B.
ie, to RX the DX QRG and RX the pile up when working split.
this appears not to be so.
do i need to buy the SUB RX board to be able to do this or am i not
doing something correct?

ps, fb rig.

In your case there's one RX to receive one frequency at the time.
To monitor two freqs /at the same time/, you will need the Sub RX.

Simon,

Hold the REV button to listen to the VFO B frequency.
You can also swap the VFOs, then swap them back before transmitting, but
if you lose track of which is which in the 'heat of battle', the UP cops
will admonish you.

To listen to both VFOs simultaneously, you need to install the subRX.

After the P3, getting the sub RX was the best improvement in
usabilityI have done to my K3. Trying to hold REV while tuning
in the pileup got old really fast.

I started with a minimum 10W K3 and now have a fairly fully
featured 100W rig. For someone new to HF, it was a good way to go.
