To accommodate diversity reception, the K3 needs to be able to assign
different frequencies to the subreceiver and transmitter.  Sure, audio
from the two receivers can be tied down to separate L/R outputs.  But
it seems that the subreceiver needs to be assignable to vfoA OR vfoB.
I don't believe you could change vfoB frequency "on the fly" to swap
receive/transmit frequencies in diversity split because of settling
time and needs for fast qsk.
