A manual Link control is not necessary for diversity reception. 'Sync
and link' already happen automatically when entering Diversity mode.

If the manual Link control is removed, Diversity would then become the
easily accessible 'hold' feature of the SUB button (available if the
second receiver is present, otherwise having no effect).

Another source of confusion in Diversity mode is the frequency display
for VFO B, which is not the true frequency of that VFO. (Obscurely, it
is the frequency that VFO B *would* jump to on TX, *if*  the operator
*also* chooses to engage SPLIT.) That false frequency indication can
easily mislead the operator into believing that the two VFOs have not
been successfully synchronized. 

In normal diversity reception, the display should show the *true* VFO B
frequency - reassuringly synchronized and slaved to VFO A. It should
only display that alternative frequency if SPLIT has actually been
selected.
