Jeff,

I am not sure you want Diversity.  I would suggest you turn the SUB on 
(not Diversity) by tapping the SUB button (HOLD will get you into 
Diversity).

With the SUB on, tune to your receive frequency with the VFO A knob.  
Then tap A > B twice to transfer the frequency, mode, etc to VFO B
Then tune with the VFO B knob to your proposed transmit frequency.
Now turn on SPLIT.  Note the arrow in the display next to the TX label 
to the right side now points to VFO B.  That arrow points to the 
frequency where you will transmit.
You will hear the main receiver in your left ear, and the right ear will 
hear what is on your transmit frequency.

If you want to use Diversity, the K3 will behave more like a single 
receiver, but if using 2 antennas (one on the main and the other on the 
sub), you may be able to hear better through QSB.  In diversity, both 
the main and the sub are controlled by the VFO A knob.
If you are in diversity and want to go split, tap the A>B button twice 
and then go to SPLIT.
Move VFO B to your desired transmit frequency.
You will not be able to hear on your transmit frequency unless you hold 
the REV button - while holding that button you will hear the TX 
frequency (but not your RX frequency).

I hope that helps.

73,

Then I turn on the 2nd RX in diversity, press b-set and use the B VFO to move it to 1.8245, narrow the filter to 400 Hz. then press b-set agn.  Now I lock the VFOs so they track. SUB and SPLIT indicators are on. Am I still TXing on 1.835 and if so how do I know that if VFO B shows the second RX QRG?
