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



----------


A transmit/receive relay switch? I don't know either. Just a guess.


Ed, NM2K


seems i didn't explain the set up right

in the menus there is a switch to use the rx jacks

on the ts2000 it's 1 rx jack on or off

i understand this


on my markv Field there is also a rx on/off setting

but 2 jacks(not a switch) one is rx antenna INPUT one rx
antenna OUTPUT

i can guess what the input is for i plug my rx antenna there but
what is the outputfor?

i see a few righs now have that set up just can't think what
that is for

and it's not in the manual


these are rx only jacks, naturally the rigs have regular main
tx/rx pl259 jack

thanks

I would go to the page of the manual that shows the rear view of the radio,
with the various jacks numbered. It should state what each is for, and on
what page you can find more information. Are these RCA jacks? My guess about
the Rx out is that it might be for connecting to an external preamp.
