[Elecraft] New KSYN3A in K3 requires 2 of them if you have the sub receiver?

[hawley, charles j jr]

That was sort of my question, why to the synthesizers have to be the same? What if they are not? What would happen if they were not the same? Something bad...not work at all?

Normal operation (not Diversity) with the SUB on needs a synthesizer for
each receiver.  VFO A and VFO B must tune independently, and that
requires one for each VFO.

You cannot mix synthesizers, they must both be the same.
