What I do is switch antenna connections. My secondary antenna is 
connected to both the RX ANT and the sub's BNC input. So I can listen to 
the main + secondary antennas in diversity mode, just the main antenna 
with diversity off, or just the secondary antenna (regardless of whether 
diversity is on or off) with the RX ANT switch on.
