Topband: Diversity receiving

[Barry N1EU]

There is no provision in the FT-1000 to tune the subreceiver with the main 
tuning encoder, so there is nothing analogous to the FT-1000MP's ability in 
this regard.  The previously mentioned modification to the FT-1000 would add 
a switch so that the source of the encoder input to the subreceiver can be 
selectable between the main tuning encoder (diversity) and the subreceiver 
tuning encoder.  How the modifier wires that switch is entirely up to him.

Supposedly the stock Ten-Tec Orion will have this ability.
