[Elecraft] K3 Audio routing question

I'll echo W4TV's comments. The last thing anyone should do in diversity mode 
is mix one channel into two ears!!!

The sole exception would be with perfectly phase stable relationship between 
channels, such as would be obtained with **one set** of master oscillators 
running into both receivers, where a control is available to shift phase 
relationships of the two channels. In this case the two channels could be 
mixed, and the result would be a peak or null as phase is rotated. I use a 
system like this for direction finding on HF signals but it requires common 
oscillator signals driving both receivers, so the Elecraft will not do this.
