operations. There is no downside and no impact to the current

A manual Link control is not necessary for diversity reception. 'Sync
and link' already happen automatically when entering Diversity mode.
If the manual
Yes, I have found that confusing at times. It would be nice if that could be
tidied up as well.

If so, defenitely opt-in here.
Let me share why, although I seldom use the link function through the
'sub' button.
In the big contests I often use diversity reception. There are
situations that when called, I want to listen to the sub rx or to the
main rx only.
That is fixed by setting

How about a blinking vfo [B] for diversity ? I, too, find it cumbersome to
look for the blinking dot with my telescope.
Since all the action is on one band , we're only interested in the vfo B digits
after the first decimal point. That leaves the first two digit spots open for
indicating

should only display that alternative frequency if SPLIT has
actually been selected.

Set accurately without DISengaging split? I'm confused; that
comment bears no relation to what I wrote.
That should have been without disengaging diversity.
If Split is engaged within Diversity mode, my proposal would have VFOB
display the split TX frequency - exactly as it does now. But

This is a key point. Ian's first post in this thread makes it clear that
his mental model of the two displays is that they track the two
receivers. This mental model may work with a dual-receiver K3
Today it happened again for TX5K, last year for PT0S and HK0NA,

The DX station TX frequency is jumping up/down.
And the reason is:

I agree ... or at least make it the third function on the SUB instead
of the second.

This illustrates why the K3 needs more programmable buttons.
I programmed this function on M2 button since I never need memories.
The unlink is done the programmed M4 button--in conjunction with unsplit.
I use this a lot.

There is an indication that the frequency is linked: a flashing
decimal point on the VFO B display. But since VFO linking is rarely
used, I'll add a menu entry to opt in.

Not to sound like too much of a sycophant, but I suppose this kind of
thing is why I've drunk deeply of the Elecraft Kool-Aid. It's hard to
imagine Ickensu responding to a concern like this in this way.

It will still be handy, but you'll need to tap a switch in a menu
entry (one time) to enable it. I hope this isn't too inconvenient.
