A few weeks ago on this reflector I mentioned that I was using my two K3s for diversity. I have two full station setups (primarily for RTTY contesting), and one is connected to 80/20/10 antennas and the other to a 40/15. Also, each separate station feeds a different side earpiece in my headphones, so it was very easy for me to implement diversity just by linking the VFOs together through N8LP's LP-Bridge program. Even though the "other" K3 is on the "wrong band" antenna, it all works FB. I have not tried to link the master oscillators in the K3s, but I did carefully tweak the freq calibration so they are on the same freq (within tenths of a Hz, I think).
Since I already had the two radios here, it made sense for me to do diversity with them when the second radio was not busy, but maybe not so sensible to buy one solely for this. Go back through the archives and search for my posts both here and also the LP-Pan reflector.
