[Elecraft] Diversity receive w/o dedicated receive antenna

[Richard Ferch]

In a word, no. The internal rewiring only controls where the subRX gets
its auxiliary antenna input from (BNC RX-only port or ANT2 on the KAT3).
Either one will work in diversity receive, provided you connect your
second antenna to the correct connector. For DX pileups, you would
normally use the subRX's primary antenna input, i.e. the same antenna as
your main RX. You switch between the primary input (for DXing) and the
secondary input (for diversity) by HOLDing the RX ANT button.
