Yeah, that's what I'm not understanding - where is a sub-rx handy in
contesting? I'm not a super-serious contester, but I've operated in my
share of them and *never* used a SubRX (even tho the rigs I used had them.)
Guess I'm missing something about contest operating!

I agree -- unless you're a VERY serious contester. :)
Which, for the record, I'm not. I am, however, a serious DXer, on CW and a
little RTTY. I hardly ever operate phone.
It may seem strange to some, but I actually like the general coverage
sub-RX. It's nice for Armed Forces Day, and for keeping up with the fun
activities
of the Maritime Radio Historical Society. The sub-RX performance on the
ham
bands has been good enough for what I use it for, which is spotting callers
in pile-ups. I suppose, however, that if I were a serious contester I
would
want the K3's sub-RX over the O II.
