Default silly rx ant question

hi

I have a few ham rigs that have a seperate rx antenna, if i
activate this function it simply choices this for rx when unkeyed.


my Yaesu mark v Field have 2 jacks for rx antenna marked in/out

so i am confused dson't seem to say anything in the manual about how
that actualy works

i suppose the IN would connect to my receive antenna but what would
the out connect to


Hi Myles,

My Drake TR7 has the same thing (a separate antenna jack). It also
has a switch. The switch goes to the T/R relay. In one position of
the switch, receive follows the transmit path and shares that antenna;
in the other position of the switch it goes to this second antenna
jack so the receive has a separate antenna and does not share with
transmit.

When all else fails, RTMFM (read the meticulously formatted manual).
