That's very interesting.  I predicted this before units were delivered
because the two FT5000 RXs are not identical.  I knew because Orion suffers
the same problem, and the FT5000 is essentially a clone of Orion.  I asked
on the FT5000 lists whether anyone had noticed beating between the RXs in
diversity but no users have reported it.  I suppose it takes trained ears
like Peter's to notice such things.  Will be interesting to read the full
review.

73,  Bill
