Actually, in diversity mode I believe both receivers are using VFO A. That's why the VFO B display doesn't change; VFO B is not affected by the VFO A knob (the VFO A knob affects VFO B in linked mode, but not in diversity mode). VFO B is still controlled by the VFO B knob, and it is used by the transmitter in SPLIT mode, just the same as in a one-receiver K3. My mental model is as follows: the VFOs and the receivers are actually independent. The first receiver is always controlled by VFO A, but the second receiver can be controlled by either VFO (A = diversity, B = all other modes). The transmitter may be controlled by either VFO (A = non-split, B = split). The VFOs each have their own control knobs, but in LINK mode frequency change directives from the VFO A knob are also fed to VFO B. 73, Rich VE3KI ______________________________________________________________ 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
