K3 subreceiver/diversity

Barry N1EU
The K3's subreceiver with main receiver type performance is exciting
news.  I've been looking at the front panel and spec sheet trying to
discern whether the K3 will be capable of stereo diversity reception
and it's not readily apparent.

Can ANT1/2/RXANT be individually routed to each receiver?
Can both receivers be tuned with the same vfo?
Can RF Gain be independently adjusted for main/sub rx (eg., using low
gain rx ant on subrx)?

Thanks & 73,
Barry N1EU

Both receivers can be connected to the same ANT1 or ANT2, or connected
to opposite ANT1/ANT2.

I'll defer to others on the answer to the RX ANT routing.

They have separate synthesizers, but I believe they can be locked to track.

Yes, RF gain is independent.
