[hpsdr] Diversity experience.

[Joe Martin]

To be even more clear perhaps I should also say:

When you select Diversity, the frequencies of the two receivers are automatically changed to the frequency of the first receiver and the IQ data stream that was going to the RX1 Display in PowerSDR is changed to show instead a single IQ data stream derived from the combined IQ data streams of both receivers at once, phased according to how you have the phase control set in the Diversity window in PowerSDR.  You do not need to manually assign any frequency to the second receiver, it is done automatically for you when you select the Diversity option in PowerSDR.

These two firmware receivers are combined into a single IQ data stream that is displayed in the RX1 front panel display in PowerSDR.  You do not need to do anything with the RX2 button or the RX2 display in PowerSDR to run in Diversity mode.

I’m about 2/3 done with the project now but when it is finished and released it may help with users understanding how rear panel connections, options selections, and front panel displays are related for any particular configuration you have set in software from the setup menus.
