[Elecraft] Diversity Recieve Issue

This morning I was listening on 15 meters using ant2 which is hooked to one
of my verticals.  I switched to ant1 (my second vertical) and I could barely
make out the signal.  While still set to ant1 I switched to diversity
receive and I still could barely hear the signal in either ear.  I then
switched off diversity, changed back to ant 2.  I could hear the signal
again.  I then switched to diversity while still on ant2 and I could hear
the signal well in both ears.

It seems like diversity receive is just giving me stereo receive of one
antenna, not true diversity receive of both antennas.  What could I be doing
wrong?  Am I missing a setting somewhere?  I have the Config/Spkrs set to 2
and I have config/L-Mix-R set to A b.  Just for reference, I do not have
matched filters in both receivers.
