[Elecraft] Diversity Recieve Issue

[Bill Johnson]

Ken,

 

Matching filters is a good thing.  You need to have both antennas hooked to the radio.  I use the aux antenna for one and the main to antenna one.  In bset, you select when pressing the antenna switch.  Then I adjust the rf gain for each antenna to give similar output to the line out into my desktop stereo speakers.
