That's a good question! I believe that the sub RX is the first priority. You have to be able to hear his QSX frequency to know you're transmitting in the right place. The P3 does help to see the signal of the guy who he answered last transmitting. I was able to work ZL8X on two bands today by u

I recently made the choice to purchase a P3 rather than a KRX3. Three factors that were involved in my decision were as follows. It is the 160m DX season and CQ WW is right around the corner. I didn't want to take my station apart even for a day or two to add the second Rx. The P3 was up and

I'll confess to not being much of a CW op (only 277 worked) but my recent experience with entering the realm of either 2nd RX or panadapter usage, I've gone to the panadapter, and only recently at that. In my case it's an SDR-IQ running SpectraVue, which interfaces to the K3 flawlessly. I've n

I think the KRX3. The P3 is very helpful, but the most of the time it's the KRX3 that does it. The P3 shows the pileup, but it's much easier to identify the one that's working the DX when you can hear and copy calls, etc. I operated with the equivalent of the REV button for years and always th

Hello Group, K3 is the main radio in ZLX8.  Do you know which version of Firmware they are using? Yesterday, I hear ZLX8 at 20 metre 59+.  I returned to them with my QRP K3, also received 59 signal report.  My KPA3 is under repair by Elecraft.  cheers, Johnny VR2XMC __
