Press and hold SUB to enter diversity and just use Main VFO .. both
main and sub RX are using main vfo and the sub VFO and freq readout
does nothing other than a split TX freq?
Correct - both receivers are using VFO A and VFO B is only used for
split.

I'm looking at jumping in to JT-65 mode of operating and see where a
Tigertronics Signalink USB Interface box may be the easiest way to get
started. If anyone has utilized that approach and has some lessons learned to

You can increase the waterfall sensitivity by adjusting the REF LVL to
place the noise right at the bottom of the spectrum display and then
increasing the SCALE setting. The same REF LVL and SCALE settings are
applied to both the spectrum and the waterfall displays. For further
details, see
I can add, for those who want a good 130+ watt dummy load and are
willing to build one (a quart size Heath 'Cantenna'), take a look at

I built 2, one for myself and another for my grandson (we did it as a
project together). It is not difficult at all.

It's a good idea to check the resistance of any used dummy load, especially
one that has some age on it.
The resistance of my 30+ year old Heath Cantenna gradually reduced to 42
ohms. This was enough error for the power meter to indicate a potential
transmitter problem.

Excellent advice Don. I bought a 100w dummy load kit from OHR. It's
called the RFL-100 and it's about $40, comes in a very nice cabinet, and
takes less than an hour to build. It has come in handy more times than
I can count.

Hi James,
Here is how you can use 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

Joshua, Probably not. The ultimate BW of your receiver is set by the

One thing that I believe should be in every ham's shack is a dummy load
capable of handling the maximum power that your station can develop.
Ridge Equipment has a 50 ohm 75 watt dummy load good up to 1.5GHz for
