I might have to re-evaluate. For casual split chasing the P3 can still be
awesome. And the P3 is just so cool for general use. If I were funds limited
I would definitely buy a P3 and save up for the sub RX. Having both is the
greatest thing since sliced bread.

Regrettably, the JAs are catching up to the EUs, but generally true.
As to the original question, I use neither, but do have the near equivalent of
the P3. an SDR-IQ used as a panadapter. Although this could be used as a second
RX, I have enough difficulty listening to one RX, I don't need to
I use my Sub-receiver ALL THE TIME in Diversity mode. If you haven't used
diversity, you are truly missing something. I also use my P3 all the time.
Can't live without either.

Hi Jerry,
There's
A. casual DXing
B. contesting
C. casual split pile-up chasing
D. die-hard split pile-up chasing
For A you don't need either
For B you should consider the P3
For C you should consider
If you are dealing with JA pileups, you only need a P3 because only the station
that has been called by the DX will answer.
With EU pileups you will also need a subrx because everyone will be calling all
the time.
USA pileups are in between.

While I've always been extremely fond of my sub rcvr and found it invaluable
for chasing split operations---I never got so attached to my P3---until now.
I just finished building a one-meter diameter small transmitting loop for
10-20M operation in my condo back yard. Tuning it is so very easy
Just wondering what DXers who have the K3/K3s think. My main mode will be CW
with my objective being DX primarily. With this in mind it's been suggested
that the P3 would be more useful than the SubReceiver. I'm starting to
rethink that and just wondering which is the most useful for DX? I won't
Jerry,
If you are used to a single receiver without a panadapter, then you are
used to using your ears.
So, I would suggest that the SubRX would be the first choice for DX
operation. You can monitor the DX frequency in one ear and the pileup
in the other - tuning a bit should reveal the
From here for me as a sample of one, it's a winner to actually listen
to my split transmit frequency leaving the main RX tuned to the DX.
Using diversity on 160/80/40 to hear really weak ones is remarkable.
So I'd go with the SubRX first. But that's just MY answer, there are a
thousand variations.
I got the SubRX first as a must item for DXing with K3, because I have another
TRX with dual receiver capability. One of my friends got P3 and has repeatedly
talked about P3 how it has excellently and effectively worked on chasing DX
stations. Almost one year from having got my K3, I decided to
I worked K1N on RTTY using my K3 using the sub rx to find holes. No
P3, although a may get one. The method I use is to run a second MMTTY
window fed by the sub rx output on the audio right channel, an easy set
up in MMTTY. While it only gives a 3 or 4 khz spectrum, it is helpful,
so I was
