It sounds to me as if you were not in diversity mode, but rather LINK mode. If you hold 
the SUB button for about a second, it links the vfos so that they will tune together. But 
the frequencies need not be the same. To get diversity mode, hold the SUB button for a 
longer time until you see DVRSTY on the screen. Then you can use VFO B for a transmit VFO 
for split operation.
