[Elecraft] Diversity and RF/Vol Controls

[Dale Boresz]

Hello Rich,

I have been using diversity reception on the K3 on 40m for years, and can
control both RF gains separately, and the AF Gain controls are set so that
the larger one acts as a balance control, and the smaller one acts as a
master volume control for both simultaneously (however that can be changed
to independent AF gain controls if that is your preference).

Some of the relevant menu settings (though probably not all) are set as
follows on my radio:
SQ SUB : 00 (Fully CCW)
SQ MAIN: 00 (Fully CCW)
SUB AF : BALANCE  (for the balance/master gain scenario I described above)
-- or --
SUB AF : nor (to enable individual control of the AF Gain for the Sub and
the Main RX)

Hope this helps.

73,

Dale - WA8SRA
