Am I  missing something with not wanting a Sub receiver as good as the Main?
I've  owned a O1 and now a O2 for over 4 years  and never had need for a Sub  
receiver as good as the Main. I like the Sub the way it is with general  
coverage.
The O's helped me to 298 DX contacts in those 4 years. I've  never had need 
for the quality of the Sub as the Main.
Yes, I do listen  up to try and find where the DX station is listening and 
never regretted  the Sub's inferior reception.
What did I miss over these 4  years?




A lot of us use the O2 in contests, always listening to both  receivers. 
Running stations with one vfo and searching for stuff on the second,  always 
listening to both and allowing the contest program to quickly switch the  Xmit. 
For 
that operation, the O2 sub-rx is sorely lacking and that becomes real  
evident real quickly, especially on the low bands.
