[Elecraft] Elecraft Diversity Receive... changed the subject matter to this topic.

[Bill K9YEQ]

Ditto the diversity receive.  I use stereo speakers on the line output of my K3 into Creative Labs triple tweeters per channel and a central subwoofer. I use a third speaker out of the speaker output in mono mode which is a combination of the stereo channels.  I use two 75 meter dipoles, one 25 feet above the other and they are not in the identical plan or side slopes.  Incredible receiving experience. Not cheap but I cannot believe my ears.  What a difference.  My whole desk is filled with sound... about 4 foot of it.  Diversity is incredible.

I run an ALS 600s amp and I can work what I can hear. Even the guys running 100 watts or less at distance. This setup extends my effective range with more than just QRO operators.  This is also a benefit of the fine Elecraft engineering.  I don't even work for these guys and they  are effectively tapping into my life savings! :-)  This is a sweet setup, the best in my hamming experience from 1960 and I have had experiences which were quite a step up in technology.  This is in the stratosphere for me.

easy to impress.

I’m only adding this review to highlight the Diversity Receive feature that
links the 2 receivers together to use 2 independent antennas (only one way
