Questions about diversity mode

tomb18
Hi I have two antennas, one a dipole for 40m and a vertical for 20-10m.  I have tried to use the diversity mode with the dipole as ant1 and the vertical as ant2, but I get no signal on the sub receiver.  I have the antenna tuner and I have tried using bset changing it to ant2 but it doesn't seem to work.
I do not have anything attached to the aux antenna and I think that the config settings are set correctly.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Do you have a factory built K3?  If so, the subRX AUX ANT is connected
to the BNC jack, not to the ANT port that the MAIN is using.  To do what
I believe you want to do, you will have to installed the TMP cable that
came with your K3 between the Sub AUX RX input and the KAT3.
