From what I have read in years past, I agree locking the two
together could probably be useful. I don't know enough about it yet
to be sure of this, though - having each radio in a separate earphone
may be all one needs unless beam-forming is a goal. In time we will
see how the subreceiver is locked to the main and then we should be
able to duplicate the KRX3 performance. One step at a time.
In the meantime, I have enjoying the several hours I have spent
listening. I now have the two reference oscillators in agreement so I
don't get the beat I heard earlier. Using one vertical antenna and
one horizontal last night I observed polarity differences on 75 M.
Also some sort of spatial effects on 30 M.
It is definitely not a $2500 solution to a $600 problem - it is
actually a zero-cost second receiver solution for the guy who bought
two K3s for contesting and sees the second one just sitting there
when not contesting...

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.
