How are you going to get the two Omni VIs to track each other within 1hz on
more than one band, which is what's required for good diversity?  There's a
xtal oscillator for each band and they will differ by more than that and
the CAT/VFO only allows freq setting of +/- 10hz.  You can precisely align
the two TCXOs but that precision will only hold on the band that you
calibrate them on.

Or am I missing something?
