Although I haven't done it yet, I am planning to swap the stereo from my '87
5k to my '89 200q ... however, since I do listen to the radio frequently and
don't want to install an external antenna (IMHO, the car looks nicer without
one), I may be willing to pop for a new head unit that's designed for use in
a diversity setup.  Personally, I'd be surprised if hooking the two antennas
together offers any improvement over using just the one...

Before I start calling around to the local car stereo emporiums, does anyone
have any input/experience with this?  I seem to recall that Kenwood once had
a few models that offered this feature ... any others?
