Watching the P3 while listening to DX operating split and using
the second receiver to listen to the pile-up, for the first time, is a
technique that everyone told me would be nice but I wasn't prepared for how
easy and effective it turned out to be. Everyone knows how to set up the K3
so the only other things to do are (1) get the P3 MRKR A on the run
station's frequency just so you know where it is. Now use MKR B to select
your location in the pile up. Find the hole; push the QSY knob.
The technique of using the K3 receiver and your ears to look for
a hole and then transmitting there was obvious right thing to do, but it's
easier said than done to do well. The P3 takes away all that hassle. I
agree that this is a highly suspect claim but the visual technique actually
worked for me on the very first try, probably mostly good luck, but
nonetheless the pile-up covered 2 kHz and I found a hole with the P3 and he
heard me.
Those who wonder at my good luck might as well know that it was
