[Elecraft] [Elecraft_K3] Who said anything about removing diversity? That would *never* happen...

I know it's true, but I don't see WHY the receivers need to be phase-locked. After all, the signals are entirely separate until they are combined in your head. There isn't a question of interference/ reinforcement at RF.

The offset for all 8-pole filters is 0.00. The offset for 5-pole filters varies, and can be ordered in matched sets for main/sub.
