[Elecraft] K3 Audio routing question

[GD0TEP]

Yes... this is something I'd like to see as well....

In the RSGB/IARU 50mhz annual contest, the station here consists of 4 large
antenna systems and 4 receivers. It would be beneficial to me if I was able
to drop that down to 2 K3's!

Hi Don,

Imagine a system with good isolation between antennae such as you can
achieve with long yagi's at VHF/UHF. In my left ear I have the main RX with
stations from the UK, in my right ear I have the sub RX and stations from
Europe. I have a QRM from another G in my left ear when I am called by a
weak station from Europe which I hear in my right ear. As the antennae have
nice patterns I can barley hear the QRM from the G on the antenna pointing
at Europe. Now I want to mute or attenuate the audio from the main RX and
listen to the audio from the sub RX in both ears. I know this will not be
diversity any more but I'd quite like the filter controls to continue to
affect both receivers without having to press BSET. After I have worked the
station I need to return to diversity mode listening to both receivers
again.

Diversity mode almost does what I want with both receivers locked together,
I just need to be able to select which audio I listen to at a given time. I
can easily make up a box to switch the audio but I would have thought that
what I want to do is not that uncommon.

Hope this makes more sense.

you can Stress to Wayne that he should finally make it available for use
when in Diversity...
