First you need the RX2 module installed in the FLEX-5000 and a separate
antenna connected to it (RX2-IN) that is diverse from the RX1 antenna in
either polarity and/or distance apart (at least 1/2 wavelengthon the
frequency of interest.
You can do basic diversity by syncing the VFOs and panning the audio
from RX1 and RX2 into the left and right speaker (headphones) and allow
your brain to do the "DSP" to recover the strongest signal.
Or you can use the ESC feature in PowerSDR to do synchronous diversity
which is beam steering (weak signal enhancement) or null forming
(rejection of an offending signal) on the receive passband.

Can someone give me some advice about diversity reception using the
Flex 5000? Is it even possible?
I have a separate receive antenna system which I use easily with my K3
for diversity reception.
If it is even possible with the 5000, how is the receive antenna to be
connected and enabled for reception?
