Jim,
When in diversity mode, the VFO B display does not represent the
Sub-RX (as it does not when the Sub-RX is turned off). It's done this
way because you can operate split while diversity is on - i.e. a TX
frequency that is different from the frequency that the two receivers
are locked together on.
So, basically, ignore VFO B when experimenting with diversity RX.
