Happens to me, too.
Fortunately, I found that 'lock' will work for either VFO.
Go to 'BSET', hold 'LOCK', and presto - problem solved!
And RIT/XIT still work for both linked VFOs.
A real plus for 160m diversity operation, IMHO.

Doesn't work on my 3.63 (but I don't need it to).

 Try the following:

1.  Turn SUB off (so the SUB icon does not show on the display).
2.  Then hold SUB continuously for 4 seconds and note whether DVRSTY momentarily appears in the VFOB area of the display.  If it does not, you have a defective K3.

I timed mine the other day and it took >3 seconds to enter Diversity mode.  If you don't learn how to use Diversity correctly, you won't be able to operate SPLIT while in Diversity (which requires being able to set VFOB for TX separately from VFOA for RX Diversity).

I got so sick of waiting for the long HOLD function to enter diversity mode that I created
a macro consisting of one command, DV1; and assigned it to the tap function of one of my
programmable keys. Now I just tap this key to turn it on and tap SUB to turn it off.
