Some years ago there was a DXpedition to VU4 (or VU7, not sure). It
wasn't easy -- I was in California then. The pileups were tough and
there was lots of DQRM. So I decided to wait a couple of days.
Then there was a big tsunami, with tens of thousands of casualties. The
operators were not hurt,
You don't call ON the frequency of the last QSO (usually). But you start
there in determining the pattern.

In this case I would say the DX operator is lousy. A 25 KHz spread on CW is
ridiculous. It's even ridiculous on SSB. Wait for the pileups subside and work
him when he's begging.
Now if it's Glorioso, that's different. My #340.

In certain situations you would definitely do better with a second
receiver.Suppose you have a CW pileup on a rare station, where the
pileup is 25 kHz wide, with many stations (can I say lids?) calling
continuously, and the DX station is sending 35 wpm. It is very difficult
to use REV or TF-SET

You do not have to return the QSL cards! Yes, even the K2 will run
split. You just cannot receive both frequencies at the same time. I
have the subRX and always turn it on for a SPLIT QSO.
My how one forgets after a bit of non use - it gets worse with age!

That's what I do, although I don't typically get to step 6 unless I get
lucky OR find where the DX is *actually *listening :)The REV button
comes in handy for that, as does the P3 display.
I obviously didn't buy the second RX - next transceiver I buy will
definitely have that capability...

There is a small arrow immediately to the right of the small "SPLIT"
balloon. It says "TX" above the arrow and points to the transmit
frequency. At least I see that on my K3 even when I haven't activated
the subreceiver with the "SUB" button.

Really?
I wonder how I can work split then on my K3/10 without a 2nd RX...do I have
to return the QSL cards?

If you have the CW decoder turned on, you won't see the TX frequency
shown in the lower half (VFO B) of the K3 display.
Otherwise, the VFO B frequency is shown in the lower half of the
display.
When you turn split on, there is a little triangle flag under the "TX"
at the right end of the display
The fact that SPLIT is displayed on the screen tells you that you are
transmitting on VFO B, the TX freq does not appear in the VFO A screen
position when you TX
You do not need the REV button at all.
Just use the VFO B tuning knob to adjust your VFO B freq +1 or +5 or
whatever
You are set
OK, good idea.
1. I tune the DX station normally.
2. I tap A>B to copy A frequency to B.
3. I press and hold SPLIT to separate RX and TX.
4. While holding REV I tune about “five up” or wherever the DX is listening.
5. I release REV and I see the DX’s frequency again.
QUESTION: When I transmit the
You can operate SPLIT, you just can't listen to two frequencies at the
same time. Just hold the SPLIT key. Then set VFO A to your receive
frequency and VFO B to the transmit frequency. You can temporarily
switch the VFOs by holding the REV key. When you let go, it switches back.
So when you ar
It is quite simple just long press the A>B button and you will be in
SPLIT mode.
Tell us what you are doing that is not working

PS - I believe Crossband Split is not possible w/o a SUBRX, but not
within the same band.
