[Elecraft] Who said anything about removing diversity? That would *never* happen...

[WILLIS COOKE via Elecraft]

I think he was talking about removing the feature that locks both VFOs together rather than diversity.  The writer said that he did not think it was good to lock both VFOs together, but I think is is required for proper diversity operation to have both locked.  I have not used diversity much because I do not have a good receive antenna for 160, but I would not want the VFO tracking feature to go away and I do not see how one could use diversity well without tracking VFOs.  I have a big fear that someday you will listen to one of these suggestions, but so far you have not.  Good work! Willis 'Cookie' Cooke,TDXS Contest Chairman K5EWJ & Trustee N5BPS

I don't know who started this thread, but let me say definitively that we would never remove Diversity mode. The K3 has one of the best diversity implementations in any transceiver, and many operators use it all the time. That is why we wanted to make it easier to use by assigning it as the regular-hold function of the SUB switch.
