YES - I use XFIL repeatedly to shutdown the IF or restore it to
service when doing eme. I have DATA-A configured to use "FL3" which
has no filter installed in order to disconnect the 2nd IF when I am
running MAP65. I tap off the 1st IF into the LP-Pan, to Delta44 soundcard.
Why do I do that? FL2 is populated with 2.8-KHz filter and it "sucks
out at zero frequency" on the MAP65 band display. selecting FL3 with
XFIL allows me to have no load from the 2nd IF. But if I want to
check signal levels with the S-meter I only have to tap XFIL to
restore FL2. I use XFIL several times an hour on eme.
Regarding use of Diversity - that IS why I bought the KRX3
subreceiver. I ALWAYS run Diversity reception when I select the
subreceiver because it is integral to my dual-polarity adaptive
receiving system (used on 2m-eme).
I would consider loss of use of Diversity Reception a breach of
contract by Elecraft. I have over $10k invested with the K3
Diversity Rx as central feature of the system. It IS why I bought the K3.
