Sounds like a $2500 solution to a $599.95 problem (i.e. a KRX3).  And when
you're done it actually isn't True Diversity unless both synthesizers are
phase-locked (i.e. no beating of frequency or phase).  I often hear rapid
shifting of DX signals in Diversity mode (left-right-left) which I think
would be a problem if the two RXs weren't phase-locked.
