[Elecraft] Diversity Mode Setup

[Joel Black]

I went through the archives through March of last year and cannot find 
an answer to my question, so here goes...

I finally got an antenna connected to the KRX3.  I went through the 
operation for diversity mode and I *think* I have this setup right, but 
I cannot tell if it's actually receiving or not.  From page 45 of the 
KRX3 Installation/Operation Manual:  I hold SUB for 2 seconds and I get 
the "LINK" indication.  If I hit it for 2 seconds again, I get UNLINK; 
however, the manual states that the kHz decimal point on VFO A should 
blink.  Well, it doesn't, but the kHz decimal point for VFO *does* blink.

Further down on that page, it states that I cannot turn on the preamp or 
attenuator unless I hold BSET first.  I hold BSET and get "b SET" on the 
display.  Whether I hit PRE or ATT, I get no indication that anything 
has happened.

Even further down the same page (and I really don't understand this 
part), it tells me I can select the antenna I am using on the sub 
receiver.  It tells me to hold BSET and then tap ANT.  That works fine, 
I can select either ANT1 or ANT2.  I have nothing connected to ANT2.  Is 
this indicating which antenna the *main* receiver is using and not the 
*sub* receiver?  I get the indication from the manual I am selecting the 
*sub* receiver antenna which makes no sense to me because my sub 
receiver is the BNC connector.

The manual also states that *holding* RX ANT will accomplish the same 
thing as hold BSET and tapping ANT.  All I get when I hold RX ANT is 
"SUB OFF."  However, if I just tap RX ANT, I get a RX indicator on the 
display.

I'm really confused with this diversity mode, so please be gentle with me.

Thanks,
