K3 VFO link not working

I have a K3 with dual receivers. I used to just push the sub button "short hold" and the VFOs would
link. Sub button "long hold" would activate the diversity receive.

I have not used my K3 for over a year due to a move and that dang job of mine.
I just updated the firmware on the K3, P3, KAT500 and KPA500 system.
Now when I do a short hold the diversity receieve comes on but not the VFO link.
I can go into the menu system and turn the link on but it turns off if I switch bands or do almost anything else.
Is this a new "feature" or have I inadvertently pushed a button that I shouldn't have?

No external logging programs are being used.

Thanks for the help

This changed a while ago Link is now a menu item.

You don't have to LINK to use Diversity.

The "link" function has been moved to CONFIG: VFO LNK.

You can also use a macro with the "LN" command along with others to do a
one button execute on complex functions involving link.

The SUB button only has tap = SubRx on/off toggle, hold = Diversity toggle.
Also a tap which turns *off* SUB, also turns off Diversity. And a *hold* to
turn on diversity will turn on SUB if it was not on already. Pretty neat.

I assign a pf key to link. Another to diversity. Works great. Amazing to
work higher bands with my Small SteppIR and a Loop which are on opposite
sides of my house. Into stereo, the difference is amazing. Made me sit
back and wonder the amazing ability of the K3s. Solid copy on the signal.
Just hope they hear me on the other end.
