[Elecraft] [K3] Diversity and CW?

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Jim:

If you're on the fence as to whether or not you should buy a sub-receiver I
would answer as follows. If the "only" reason for your buying a sub RX is to
obtain diversity reception I would suggest that you first purchase the KXV3A
option which gives you the ability to use a separate receive antenna on your
main receiver. (You would want this option even if you purchased the sub
RX). Once you have the KXV3A you could see just how good your receive
antenna really is. If it frequently pulls in signals that you have trouble
hearing with your transmit antenna then it would probably be pretty good as
a diversity antenna in any mode. If it doesn't, then you just saved yourself
the cost of a sub RX and its filters.

Does CW benefit from diversity reception? Can anyone relate any
experiences with such improvement and some details on their setup
including filters/settings?
