If I'm not mistaken MIXW ver?? has a 2nd recv window you can activate
depending on some other settings band width, ssb or both. You can see all
the station's that are calling up with their call sign showing up on the
software display for the 2nd vfo up to a certain band width.
One of the French team's used this and I was amazed how fast he was
tu up and bam working another one. I guess the software auto switches
to that split station call sign and xmit qrg so he can get the report from
the station he sent the report too. That particular dxped would not work a
wide bandwidth only 2-4 up but was running them one after the other, condx
permitting.
I don't use it for RTTY as the decoder is no where , or any of the other
decoders , as good as RITTY. I used MIXW in some psk contest where it is
pretty good and a good logger also.

Radios with a second receiver (not just another VFO on a single receiver)
can decode two different frequencies simultaneously.  The DX station is in
one decoder window and the pileup is in another.  With a bandscope, you can
usually ID the station being worked, move your second receiver there and
decode to verify.  If you're in Split mode, then transmitting will occur on
the Split frequency, i.e., the second receiver, or VFO-B.  I don't know how
we ever worked a split pileup spread over 15 Khz without these aids.   ;>)

On a DXpedition RTTY split mode, unlike CW where it is possible to 
listen for and read the frequency of the calling station being worked, 
RTTY on split does not provide that option to print the station on VFOB, 
at least not that I can see.  No way to print from VFOB to try and find 
the station being worked.  It becomes a crapshoot (using NAP3 and LP PAN 
to try and see the signal of the RTTY station being worked is impossible 
with the "call all of the time" crowd.)  Is there any way around this?

Hopefully I have overlooked some command or system to read both VFOA and 
VFOB on my FT5000 on any RTTY program???
