Jim, With BOTH 'Split' and 'Diversity' engaged, you will only be able to listen to VFO-A, although VBO-B WILL be your transmit frequency. In other words, you will be listening to the DX on VFO-A with full benefits of Diversity. However, you can press and hold the "REV" button on the K3 which will swap the VFO A/B frequencies, at which point you will be hearing the pileup in full diversity and your VFO-A cursor will change to your XMIT frequency. You will tune through the pileup with your main VFO (VFO-A) to figure out where you want to transmit, and when you release the "REV" button you will again be listening to the DX station on VFO-A but you'll notice that your P3 VFO-B cursor (and TX frequency) will be wherever you placed it using the VFO-A knob while depressing the "REV" button.
I don't claim that this is the ONLY way to accomplish this, but it is the way I have been doing it for years. A downside is that you will not be able to simultaneously hear the DX in one ear while hearing the pileup in the other. This makes sense though since diversity allows you to listen via two different antennas, with one antenna per ear. It takes a bit of practice, but it works well. 73, Dale - WA8SRA On Mon, Aug 3, 2020 at 2:27 PM Jim Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > When using diversity what happens to the ability to do Split on the K3? > > Can I still listen to the pileup on VFO B and transmit on the VFO B > frequency? > > Thanks > > jim ab3cv > > ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
