[Elecraft] Struggling with diversity mod

[Udo Langenohl - DK5YA]

Problem solved. Internal antenna routing messed up completely after 
upgrading to the latest firmware. I've reloaded an old configuration 
saved with a very old firmware (from May 2013) after the upgrade. That 
was a bad idea.
Call me SRU... (stupid radio user) :-) ... my fault.

Thanks to all that replied.
