I use the UP-X function as Lee has described in my N4PY Orion software to
initially get split set up on the frequency. I then switch my pod to tune
VFO B which is the transmit frequency. When the DX station is not
transmiting I turn DUAL receive on with a pod button. With DUAL receive on,
the main receiver audio is in the left headphone and the sub-receiver audio
is in the right headphone. As soon I hear the DX transmitting, I turn DUAL
receive off. This causes the main receiver audio to come out both
headphones and the sub-receiver audio to be muted. When the DX station
stops transmitting, I quickly turn DUAL receive back on and tune the
transmit frequency with the pod to find a calling station. This technique
works the best of any technique I have ever used and allows the most
efficient tail ending to help get through the pileup quickly.
