Worked great, Dean.  Last week, with help from K6IAM, Software 
version 2.67 was loaded into my K3s.  This enabled two features that 
made DIVERSITY a joy to use:
1.  One push & hold keystroke to enable Diversity mode (no menu work 
needed) - locks both receivers to same freq., connects subRX to the 
AUX input (beverage).
2.  Config menu selection to make the main RX AF gain the volume 
control, and SUB AF gain a balance or fader between the two receivers.

My hand was on that 'balance' knob on most QSOs to optimize the 
perceived S/N.  Probably would have missed a few weak EUs or JAs 
without Diversity.

This feature would be useful on any band where you have two 
antennas,  for me it's a must for 160m.
