Hi Carl,
My N4PY Orion software has can be operated in diversity mode. And my program has an adjustment in it to allow for a slight frequency offset in the 2 receivers and correct it.
That sounds interesting. Can you explain how it works? I thought the reason the two receivers are always off frequency by some small amount is that they use different PLL schemes, with different minimum resolution step sizes. How can software change that? Perhaps I've got it all wrong.

Even with different step sizes, at some frequencies the two receivers might be on exactly the same frequency. Maybe the N4PY software can be operated so that only these particular frequencies can be tuned?
