[Elecraft] Diversity receive is fantastic

Seems a solution looking for a problem.  In diversity both Rx are 
slaved to VFO-A.

I use diversity on 2m eme to receive two polarities simultaneously 
and can select Rx frequency up to +/- 45 KHz of the setting of 
VFO-A.  To transmit on the selected Rx frequency I operate split Tx 
using VFO-B.  Tying the Tx to the Rx would defeat my use of diversity 
mode in the K3.

The sw used is MAP65 which automatically peaks the signal to optimum 
polarity and displays the polarity angle (using JT65B mode).  With my 
K3+DEMI dual Rx transverter+antenna array+8877 PA there is probably a 
$5K investment which would be rendered null and void with tying the 
Tx to VFO-A (so please don't).
