Thanks, guys.  Back to it this AM.  Had to take off yesterday before all the 
replies came in.

Dale & Milt,
That was fixed in firmware version MCR 5.33 DSP 2.86 in August of this year.
Some of us used a work around of averaging the filter offsets for both
filters. In SSB it was ok not sure of CW.

Hello Milt,

I think this will occur with the original synthesizers, if you are using
dissimilar roofing filters while in diversity mode. For example, if you
have the 2.8 KHz filter installed in RX1, but the 2.7 KHz filter in RX2,
you will probably experience this (as I recall). If you can, try selecting
a bandwidth while in SSB mode where both receivers will be using the same
roofing filters (if they are installed), and see if the frequency shift
suddenly disappears.

I am not absolutely certain of the above, but I seem to remember that was
what I experienced before I upgraded to the the new synthesizers many
months ago.
