The situation is very much the same for those of us using a 2nd
receiver.

I pulled the plug on packet 4 years ago. I added a 2nd receiver and
found it was more valuable in finding new multipliers than packet. As I
run low power, I must work the new mult before it gets spotted or else
it goes into the BandMap. The 2nd receiver makes it easy to know what
the locals are doing and checking propagation on other bands.
