Hi Chuck, Diversity reception may not work for everybody. My brain can't handle it. Having a near identical sound in both ears with one side fading in and out doesn't seem to make it easier for me to copy. I prefer to just switch between two antennas and listen to the one that sounds best. To do this you need a separate receive antenna and the KXV3A I/O board. I still love the Sub RX and use it frequently but not for diversity.
