I stand corrected. Sorry  - I never owned an original non diversity T-500.

I should mention that the TD-500 does not require an antenna in both 
sockets, I have only a single input into mine and nothing in the second 
port but both tuners work. The second port is for diversity only. So you 
can use it if you have multiple antennas but otherwise just use it as 
you do with the single port version.
