[Elecraft] KRX3 Diversity Antenna

I ordered the KRX3 today.  I've been reading the manual and have a question.

I have two antennas hooked to my K3.  Antenna 1 uses the internal ATU 
and is hooked to the ANT1 connector.  Antenna 2 is hooked to the ANT2 
connector on the K3, but does not use the ATU.

Using this setup on my Orion, I can listen to antenna 1 on the main 
receiver and antenna 2 on the sub receiver.

But, on the K3 it appears that I have to disconnect antenna 2 from the 
ANT2 connector and connect it to the AUX connector in order to get 
diversity receive.  That seems inconvenient.

Is there a way to put ANT1 on the main and ANT2 on the sub in the K3?  I 
don't relish the idea that I have to crawl around behind the radio in 
order to change connectors every time I want diversity receive.
