A manual Link control is not necessary for diversity reception. 'Sync and link' already happen automatically when entering Diversity mode. If the manual Link control is removed, Diversity would then become the easily accessible 'hold' feature of the SUB button (available if the second receiver is present, otherwise having no effect). Another source of confusion in Diversity mode is the frequency display for VFO B, which is not the true frequency of that VFO. (Obscurely, it is the frequency that VFO B *would* jump to on TX, *if* the operator *also* chooses to engage SPLIT.) That false frequency indication can easily mislead the operator into believing that the two VFOs have not been successfully synchronized. In normal diversity reception, the display should show the *true* VFO B frequency - reassuringly synchronized and slaved to VFO A. It should only display that alternative frequency if SPLIT has actually been selected. 73 from Ian GM3SEK ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
