Since any K4 has the subRX built in, I don't see the problem, although
some changes in operating habits may be in order.
For working DX, tune to the DX station with VFO A - then put VFO A into
VFO B - Listen to the DX on the subRX.
Then tune with VFO A for a suitable transmit frequency. Never a need to
touch the VFO B knob, and no need to turn on SPLIT - always transmit on
VFO A frequency.
The only reason to touch the VFO B knob would be if and when the DX
decides to move his transmit frequency.
For contests folks will likely use RIT/XIT more than VFO B (except when
scanning another band for multipliers), and for that type operation the
K-Pod would be a desirable addition for many reasons, including easy
access to Macros.

I rarely use RIT/XIT... and the B VFO frequently....
so after November I may HAVE to use the K-POD more than I have been.
