Thanks for your support Guy.
I have addressed this subject several times in the past (with no
success). I often use diversity in contests (ever since I have my K3,
which carries #1255).
Now that the K3 runs the diversity form one VFO and the problem of the
filter offsets seems to be solved,
Don,
I know what diversity is Don, and I use it as you describe.
It just happens that I sometimes need to concentrate on one channel only
to make the QSO. That's where the A-A en b-b come into play. After
finishing and logging the QSO, I switch the K3 back into A-b with one

The counter to yet another mechanical outside box is that the ability
to write firmware and update it inserts another very major
possibility, that it can be done in the digital stream without need of
extra cords and boxes.

Guy,
Being 'old fashioned', I would build a small box with 2 toggle switches
to do that function (assuming I wanted it). That would allow quick
determination of which audio goes into which ear. left ear receives
either A or b, and the other switch does the same for the right ear.
Yes, I woul
I really wonder about ab ab audio in diversity. That is both rx audio
in both ears. The "diversity" comes from the antenna. What does the
brain do worse in "diversity" with this ab ab mode of receiving?

I use the RX ANT button to give me b-b. I have programmed one of the
programmable function buttons on the K3 to turn diversity on and off because it
is faster than holding the SUB button. I haven't used N1MM macros for this

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
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

That would be a nice work around, introducing another device :-) I am
limiting the number of devices as much as possible.
Having it under the F-keys is just so nice. I wonder why no one asked
for this before. At the club the K3 is really showing off when people
use it this way.

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. Switching of the audio is done in
F9-F10-11 to A-b, A-A, or b-b respectively.
Of course I would like that I could
Vic,
I have the macro's programmed under F9-F10-F11-F12 in N1MM logger.
The response of the K3 to the F-keys is swift. Switching Diversity on
and off etc. is not as quick.
Do you use macro's for this Vic?

When in diversity, normally both the SubRX and the Main RX are
controlled by VFO A.
You must be in SPLIT to do what you are doing. Is that true?

What I do is switch antenna connections. My secondary antenna is
connected to both the RX ANT and the sub's BNC input. So I can listen to
the main + secondary antennas in diversity mode, just the main antenna

Haven't drawn this out, but couldn't you accomplish your headphone audio
routing requirement via a simple outboard switch or pair of switches
mounted in a small box?

Hi all,
I might be one of few people who use the Linked VFO's in diversity, not
that I want to, but because I have to.
When listening to diversity I am stuck with the L-MIX-R setting to A-b.
Some times I want to switch from A-b to A-A or b-b and back again.
It is used when I need to lis
