I don't think anyone is talking about getting rid of Diversity - which
is one of the differentiating features of the K3. What many are saying
- and what Elecraft did in 5.10 - is that removing the second SUB "Hold"
function for the generally inferior "LINK" option is appropriate.

Your last paragraph, to me, is spot on.

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.

Question: does anybody really use XFIL?
Perhaps relocation of diversity there makes more sense.
