Your understanding of diversity mode is incorrect. What you described is NON-diversity mode, i.e. normal or default use of the subRX. In this normal subRX mode, the two receivers are on different frequencies - the main RX (left ear) is on the VFO A frequency (upper display) and the subRX

When I assembled my K3, I ordered the filters as FM, 2.7, 1.8, 400, and had the last slot open. For the K3S, I have (1) FM, (2) 2.8, and (2) 400’s. So I have the following questions. How will the filters be installed as a factory build? My guess is that the filters would be installed in the

Richard, Thanks for your reply, very helpful. Never had the rig to try this before. Looking forwards to learning to operate in split, diversity, and any other way possible. Seems like one could write a few books on operating w/ sub-receivers alone. On Sat, Aug 8, 2015 at 6:37 AM, Richard Ferch

Lane, For my needs I only installed just the 2.8-KHz filter in my KRX3 in FL2 position to match the 2.8-KHz filter in the main-Rx. Since bandwidth is set by the DSP and I do very little HF CW, so this is sufficient for my use of diversity mode. I have the 13-KHz in FL1 (for FM/AM), 2.8-KHz

elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Sub-Rx Filters snip Diversity mode is very useful in CW. It is not useful in digital modes (unless someone can write software to emulate what the human brain does with the inputs from two ears). I don't know how useful it would turn out to be in wider

Hi, I have a K3 w/o a sub-receiver and continue to enjoy learning about the hobby, and because of that, I’d like to start learning about all the things I can do w/ a sub-receiver. So I’ve ordered the new K3S-F. Seeing as I have several weeks to rethink my order before it ships, I’d like to better

Hi. My K3 has a standard 2.7 Khz ssb filter, a narrow 2.1 Khz ssb filter and a 400 hz cw filter. I am planning to purchase the sub RX KRX3 and would like some filter advice please. I am much more interested in CW. Do I have to match up all these filters on the Sub RX for diversity? I know the

Fred/Mike/Gary. Thanks for useful replies. Other than the 2.7 Khz, the 2100 and 400 are both 8 pole filters so no offset required, hopefully. Thanks for the tip re inserting any further filters in main RX prior to installing sub RX. I was considering a filter for RTTY contesting in the main RX

Gordon, I am going to give you a slightly different answer than I have seen posted on the reflector. If diversity mode is your main consideration, then ideally, you need to have matched filters The 5 pole filters can be matched at extra cost from Elecraft, but the 9 pole Inrad filters
