I've been paying close attention to this thread, having purchased
the K3 sub-receiver with the intent of using it next Field Day with my two
"very-orthogonal" 40M antennas. My question is, has it been thought through
how the capability of having two receivers and two antennas works best in a
contest? I sense from this thread that it is distracting to not be able to
hear only the chosen antenna in both ears. It makes me wonder, could a
different optional mode for the K3's antenna switch help satisfy this wish?
Ideas are cheap, and one that comes to mind is this: When listening
to two antennas, a TAP of the ANT switch would feed what's in the left ear
into both ears. If instead a slightly longer HOLD of the ANT switch was
made, what was heard in the right ear would then be fed into both ears, and
also select the XMIT antenna. After the contest exchange, any further tap
of the ANT switch would revert the receivers to putting their separate
signals into each ear, maybe assigning the last active antenna to the left
ear.
In use in a contest, then, if the desired station were strongest in
the right ear, the operator would press the ANT switch for one second, work
the station (hearing it in both ears), and finish with one tap of the ANT
switch to returned reception to its prior dual-receiver mode.
Note that such a mode might be implemented as an option. If set to
that mode, then a K3 would enter that mode when the diversity mode was
invoked.
My post is not a "request", but rather a question that, given the
power of dual receivers and antenna switching, has the best way to use this
capability in a contest been worked out?
Thanks

It is not currently possible to listen to only subrx audio in both channels
via the L-MIX-R Config setting
