When the sub-receiver becomes available, there will also be a special 
mode which allows you to 'slave' both VFOs to the main tuning knob. This 
will permit true diversity reception, with separate antennas on each 
receiver.

I am looking forward to trying this, perhaps with a vertical and 
horizontal antenna. Hopefully one signal will get stronger when the 
other QSBs!

I don't know what Wayne plans for the audio. In the years of AM, 
diversity setups compared AVC (that's what AGC used to be called) 
voltages and switched to the best signal. Of course you could listen to 
the two antennas in separate ears, but it would be interesting to 
somehow combine the audio signals so you would get a (relatively) 
QSB-free result.
