 With the MP, I just switch back & forth with A/B VFO. I can
 often find station DX is working. Problem with that is most
 everyone else is listening, too. Have to see area the DX
 is working to see if you have a chance. No use even calling if
 all they're working are 4s, for instance.
 That said, I was all over calling K1N on RTTY. One op said
 QSX .085-.090, AIR. I gave a call a little lower & got Q. 
 Managed to fill the 5 slots I needed w/ 100 W.

 Just wondering how the RTTY guys are doing this.  A decoder on the second receiver?  I didn't try to work them on RTTY but in the past I have just listened for a carrier dropping off about the same time the DX responds.  Not very scientific, I know.

 I gotta say that without the pan adapter (ie spectrum analyzer), I
would never have found where to transmit.  
 
 Lots of people report this, but it rarely works for me.  Example:

K1N : (In the clear!) K1N UP

K6GT watches a massive wad of signals covering about 5kHz on the P3.  Usually it's 
a solid block, but sometimes a comb.  Even using a second receiver, it's very difficult 
to find 'where to transmit.'  I usually watch for the comb, and then try to wedge my 
signal in between the teeth.  

Oh, I got 'em on 40 CW, but it was more like luck than having 'found where to 
transmit' by using the P3 and/or second receiver.

Like they say, it's better to be lucky than good.
