Diversity mode doesn't link VFOs

[Frank R. Oppedijk]

Hi,

I've just installed my KRX3, and it's magic! One thing I noticed, though:

The manual says that putting the K3 in diversity mode will link the
VFOs (when you mode the VFO A knob). But that doesn't happen. After
having put the K3 in diversity mode I must put it in linked mode
myself before VFO B tracks VFO A knob movement.

Is this a bug, or did I miss an erratum?

73,

Frank PA4N

Actually, what happens is that in Diversity Mode, VFO A controls both receivers. VFO B
remains available should you want to use SPLIT. Of course, you can't have a dual receive
option while diversity is in effect, but you *can* operate SPLIT, using REV or A/B to
check the transmit frequency.

Vic,

Yes, of course! That's the reason I don't see the VFO B display
change when I move VFO A. Thanks for pointing this obvious issue out to me.

It must have been the tiring week...

Have a good weekend!
