Hi Joachim,

I just tested this and it appears to be working. What you may be 
noticing is that in diversity mode (*long* hold of SUB), VFO B is no 
longer linked to VFO A. In recent revisions, VFO A still controls both 
synthesizers, but VFO B is left independent so it can be used for SPLIT 
with diversity (i.e., as the transmit frequency).

You'll also notice that in diversity mode, the VFO A kHz decimal point 
flashes as a reminder. If you link the VFOs (normal hold of SUB), the 
VFO B kHz decimal point flashes. In fact you can still link VFO B to 
VFO A if desired, even in diversity mode, but more likely you'll leave 
VFO B free to use for split.

One other change in the most recent revision is that PRE and ATTN are 
independent for the main and sub receivers. Use BSET to set up the sub 
receiver's PRE and ATTN.
