That should have been "without disengaging diversity".

This is exactly what I *don't* want - I don't want to loose the ability
to read VFO B *even when in diversity* because it becomes impossible to
set a tentative split frequency without either engaging split or ending
diversity.

The display is VFO B *not* KRX3 receive frequency - the icon says "[B]"
not "[SUB]".
