Hi James, Here is how you can use split in diversity mode: Operating Split in Diversity Mode You can operate split when in diversity reception. Because both receivers are tuned by VFO A when in diversity mode, you must revert to the operating techniques needed for a single receiver radio. You will be listening to the DX station on VFO A and searching for the station that has successfully broken through the pile-up with VFO B, which can be tuned independently of VFO A. VFO B controls the transmit frequency in split operation. 1. Tune into the DX station with VFO A. 2. Tap A>B to transfer VFO A to VFO B. 3. Start up diversity reception by holding SUB for more than two seconds. 4. Hold SPLIT to enter split mode. Now you will be transmitting on VFO B. 5. When you hear the DX station go back to a station in the pile-up, hold the REV switch to reverse VFO A and VFO B temporarily. Quickly search through the pile-up using VFO A to find the station going back to the DX. When you find it, release REV and get ready to call the DX on the next over. 6. You may also hold B SET to enter b SEt mode. You will hear the Main receiver in the left ear and the Sub in the right ear. This temporarily overrides diversity mode allowing you to hear the DX station on VFO A and the pileup frequencies on VFO B.
