The 7800 is terrible for diversity, there are two issues that make it
nearly unusable for diversity

1/ the Main and Sub RX cannot track (tune together )
2/ there is constant but small frequency offset between the main and sub
RX, this is present all the time, even with an external 10MHz reference
oscillator.
The main and sub Receivers have slightly different IF frequencies
(100KHz apart if I recall correctly ) as a result the 2DDS Local
oscillators have differing decimation errors and this results in a small
frequency offset at all times between main and sub, this makes Diversity
reception very difficult and unpleasant to use.

been there, done that ;-0
