Hi already own a 6500 for near 6 Mont but as my interest was in VHF and up
i run multiple Transverter so on my 6500 i only able to monitor one band at the time
so i look for a 6700 but honestly price was double of a 6500 for add a extra ADC Chip(SCU)
may it better to simply buy another 6500 and have a extra TX ( full duplex ) and spare radio ?
i assume that on a 6700 if you tune to 144 you cannot monitor HF on the same SCU ,since harmonic filter ? like 144 + 432 > 28 on SCU #1 and 1296 > 28 on SCU #2 so 3 band ;-)
alos since smartSDR handel only 1 radio did for V2.0 it was 200$ x 2 ?
so what you opinion

Marc, I think the right answer is not replace but add too0

Can you run two radios at the same time on the same computer? Would diversity then work across both transceivers?0

Thom, sorry i mean add too......67000

I think the issue might be software. I am not sure you can run 2 instances of SmartSDR on the same computer. You might need separate computers for 2x6500 versus one computer for 1x6700. I could be wrong.... but if that is the case, you might want to look into the cost of having two computers and separate monitors for each... etc...
Last time I tried to run a 6300 and a 6500 on the same PC at the same time I couldn't.0 -
Tim has said that SmartSDR does not support multiple instances on the same computer at this time.0

I recommend upgrading to 6700 for diversity RX.0
-
Right now we have simple diversity but only on the 6700. Full diversity requires two (or more?) in phase IQ streams. This means a 6700 with two separated antennae (GPSDO option not required) or two 6000 series RX anywhere in the world (GSPDO is required).
So now a 6700; sometime later GPSDO on two members of the 6000 series.
I failed to find the FRS reference in this community, at least a year ago.

Hi diversity was probably useless for EME antenna point to sky were noise was very low
and not sure about it for terrestrial weak signal on VHF and above ?
i think that this is more for the noisy HF ?
second PC was not a big issue i already have 2 PC on 3 monitor
youk knot whit SamrtSDR , pstrotator ,WSJTX , web chat for sked ,QRZ.com
you need quickly more Display/PC ;-)
hope that in V2.0 or later it handel multiple radio ,that will become plus value when remote will work ,whit local radio and a remote one
and wly not have cluster of remote available radio ;-))0
