[Elecraft] Split while using Diversity

I'm having difficulty understanding what Wayne wrote on 11/21. He said:


"Just in case you missed it, recent K3 firmware releases allow you to use 
SPLIT even in diversity mode.

When in diversity mode, VFO A controls both receivers. VFO B remains 
independent, so it can be used as a frequency holding register (tap A/B to 
exchange it with VFO A), or for SPLIT."



Here's what I am experiencing with MCU 2.67. When in diversity I have VFO B 
tracking VFO A and I am using a separate receive antenna for VFO B. To 
activate SPLIT, the only way to actually change my transmit frequency is to 
turn the VFO B dial thus loosing my diversity.

Using the A/B button allows me to listen to the original frequency on either 
receiver but not both. And transmission will occur on VFO B requiring me to 
swap back before transmitting again. That's a problem.

The only way I see this working is to use XIT instead of split. I'm just not 
a fan of XIT. So am I missing something?
