I'm a DXer only and I have to answer yes, I do have a second K3 in a SO2R setup. One of the main reasons any more are the extremely wide splits some of the DX has used in recent years. I have several antennas available plus a receive only "antenna/preamp" that is very helpful at times. I use a yagi and my multi-band vertical together the diversity of those is at times is the difference in making a contact or not.
I am not a CW op only Digital/SSB so on my sub I only installed a 2.8 and a .400 my main is loaded down to .250 all filters are 8 pole.

I'm trying to resolve a conflict: is the KRX3 sub receiver a "must have", or a "must have with good reasons" option? I understand it's uses. In my case, I am mostly considering it as an added resource for working dx split pileups. I have the P3, and have found it very useful in many ways, and especially for dx - so useful, that I question how much the KRX3 will add. You more-experienced dxers maybe can help point out what I am missing. I usually can develop a reasonable "pile-up strategy" using the P3 - and that seems to work most of the time. I must lack the dexterity to make the REV routine add anything. Even with the sub-rx, I estimate that it would help in only a small percentage of the situations, particularly in those large (and ill-mannered) pile-ups where the P3 shows a solid wall of signals. (Maybe the ears might catch a faint "599" that the P3 won't show?) Most of the dxers I talk to say the KRX3 is a must. I'll probably get one anyway, but what am I missing here?
