[Elecraft] K3 Phones / Diversity Question

[Scott Manthe]

Do you have a separate receiver antenna connected to the KRX3? If so, is 
the KRX3 configured properly to use it?

When I turn on the SubRX, it is still OK; I get Main audio in the left ear and Sub audio in the right ear. I know I'm getting the Sub audio in the right ear, as I can turn the sub VFO and hear the frequency change in my right ear. BUT, as soon as I turn on Diversity, I get almost no signal in the right ear. It isn't silent - it's just that the signal that is pounding in on the Main is nearly inaudible on the Sub. If the signal being received on the Main is less than S7, I can't even hear it on the Sub with Diversity turned on. If it is an S9 or greater signal, then I can just barely hear it on the Sub when Diversity is turned on.
