Wow! Just getting used to using the SUB receiver in a DX pileup to locate the right place to transmit. Even with only 100 watts and simple wire antennas, K3 to K3 with a little help from propagation netted me VP8ORK on 40 night before last. Tried many times to get them on other bands, but hadn't gotten used to using the SUB for split.
Also managed P29CW on 30 meters just a few minutes ago in only a couple of calls. Really glad I bought the P3 as it shows exactly where the pileup is and helps locate where to tune the TX. The VFO B cursor tends to get lost in the noise clutter, but having it on helps a lot in locating the TX freq on the scope and using the SUB receiver to listen to the pileup makes it a heck of a lot easier than hitting the REV button to check your TX frequency. It would be nice though, if the VFO B marker (not necessarily the marker for A) would have an option to follow the B VFO on the screen, especially when using the SUB receiver. The marker line would be a lot easier to find and position than the cursor alone.
