[Elecraft] Unable to Link VFO's in my K3

[Gary]

It was better before the change for all those without the 2nd receiver and now there is confusion with those who do have it.
Sometimes it may pay to ignore the few customers who congregate on here?
Just sayin.......flame suit on

Hi Bill,
A sort-of recent firmware change removed the ability to link vfo by a half-long hold of SUB.  That now puts you into diversity mode.  To link the vfo's there is a new config menu item VFO LNK that you use to link the vfos (set to YES).

Also, in diversity, VFO B is not set equal to VFO A.  It remains independent and can be used for split operation when in diversity mode.  What does happen is that the sub receiver is switched to VFO A and is then controlled by VFO A.
Cheers and 73,
Fred

Brethren of the bands:

I have a K3 with a sub receiver and when I try to link VFO's I go right
to diversity mode.

The sub receiver turns on and off but their is no stop with a mid push
for linking.

Also, when I hold long enough for "Diversity" mode, the sub receiver is
NOT set to match VFO - A .

What am I overlooking???
