Still have issues with this. Here are the settings in Config that I'm assuming 
are relevant:

L-Mix-R = A  b
SPKRS = 1
SPKR + Ph = no
SQ Main = Sub Pot
SQ Sub = Sub Pot
Sub AF = Nor

With these Config settings, the K3 works fine with the SubRX turned off; equal 
Main audio in both headphones. When I turn on the SubRX, it is still OK; I get 
Main audio in the left ear and Sub audio in the right ear. I know I'm getting 
the Sub audio in the right ear, as I can turn the sub VFO and hear the 
frequency change in my right ear. BUT, as soon as I turn on Diversity, I get 
almost no signal in the right ear. It isn't silent - it's just that the signal 
that is pounding in on the Main is nearly inaudible on the Sub. If the signal 
being received on the Main is less than S7, I can't even hear it on the Sub 
with Diversity turned on. If it is an S9 or greater signal, then I can just 
barely hear it on the Sub when Diversity is turned on.

Very strange. The SubRX works fine until Diversity mode is enabled.

Any ideas? Does this need to be escalated to Elecraft Tech Support?
