Guy,

Being 'old fashioned', I would build a small box with 2 toggle switches to do that function (assuming I wanted it). That would allow quick determination of which audio goes into which ear. left ear receives either A or b, and the other switch does the same for the right ear. Yes, I would not attempt to use the front panel, but the switch box would make instant selections suited to my needs at the time. A quick glance at the toggle switch positions would tell me what I am listening to and can be changed more quickly than making such a change inside the K3.

Respectfully,

This is not an issue of definition. I'm sure everyone agrees that on-purpose listening to A-A is not diversity. What they are talking about is a situational coping mechanism when using diversity as the main listening mode in a contest.

This occurs in diversity mode when one ear has a very weak desired signal and the other a very loud undesired signal. My current coping mechanism for this is to push one headphone bell forward off my ear. It would be better to temporarily switch to both ears on desired signal, but this is *very* clumsy using the front panel.

A discussion on how to deal with it would be helpful. Using diversity in contesting is a newly emerging skill that is only really emerging with common usage of two receiver K3's.
