Getting Diversity/ESC to cancel noise

I'm using a 6m dipole to pick up noise from a neighbor 300 yards away, then trying to use Diversity/ESC to cancel out the noise from my main antenna, a 5 el LFA yagi on 6m.  At 180 deg phase offset, I'm not hearing any null in the noise.  I have tried this at multiple gain settings, and also at all phase angles.  RF preamp gain is individually optimized for the two antennas to get 8-10 dB increase in noise when the antennas are connected vs disconnected, per the Flex article. Yagi is on ANT1 and the dipole on ANT2.  Noise level on ANT1/yagi is reading -112 dBm at 3 kHz bandwidth.  Noise level on ANT2/dipole is reading -108 dBm at 3 kHz bandwidth (for FT8 and MSK144 work).  Any tips on how to get this working?  Thanks in advance for comments or help! 73, Keith - KE4TH

    Hi Keith, ESC is not working yet. I am hoping that it will be fixed in 4.2.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
