Respectfully, This is not an issue of definition. I'm sure everyone agrees that on-purpose listening to A-A is not diversity. What they are talking about is a situational coping mechanism when using diversity as the main listening mode in a contest.
This occurs in diversity mode when one ear has a very weak desired signal and the other a very loud undesired signal. My current coping mechanism for this is to push one headphone bell forward off my ear. It would be better to temporarily switch to both ears on desired signal, but this is *very* clumsy using the front panel. A discussion on how to deal with it would be helpful. Using diversity in contesting is a newly emerging skill that is only really emerging with common usage of two receiver K3's. There needs to be a non-dismissive serious response to these concerns. If there are hard technical reasons why this should be done external to the K3 it would be good to known these and move on to an external solution. It does seem though like the straightforward treatment is somewhere inside the K3 digital number soup. 73, Guy K2AV On Monday, August 3, 2015, Don Wilhelm <w3...@embarqmail.com> wrote: > Arie, > > The K3 may be in diversity, but you will only hear in diversity mode when > the audio is A-b. > The diversity effect is 'in your head' as your ears naturally pick up the > differences between the two receivers and your brain figures out which is > the best to hear. > > When you have the audio set to A-A or b-b, you are hearing the audio from > only one receiver, and by definition, that is not diversity reception. > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > On 8/3/2015 10:30 AM, Arie Kleingeld PA3A wrote: > >> Don, >> >> to set things up, I use a macro programmed in the F12-key in N1MM to copy >> the freq/mode/BW From A to B, switch on the SubRx, set audio to A-b >> listening and Link the VFO's.
