If external RX antenna is selected in menu, the TR switched RX line

antennas go to "RX out" rather than to the internal receivers while the
"RX
in" is switched to the internal receivers.

If normal RX is selected in menu, the RX in and out go nowhere.

The Mk5 Field radio is a mass of menus, and some of them will make the
radio appear not to work. Technically it is a great radio, but I don't
like it very much. Our club has one, and that means that those of us
who don't have one have to re-learn it every time we use it. So if the
manual is lost, so am I. Love that one punch notch filter though.

I like my TS2000 for that reason. Gives me back 40 meters. Most of the
useful buttons are cloistered around the tuning knob. Great for one hand
operation in contests and events. Probably doesn't do all the MP field does
but great bang for the buck.

I was a station trustee for a club and wrote one page instructions with
short notes about quirks, to post or put in plastic. Just about any radio
is a problem for those who don't own one. I keep my TS130 for the GOTA
station. You would be astonished at how many radio techs would fix the
radio and have to break out a Op Manual to do a radio check. Even my own
radios, I keep the PDF shortcuts on the desk top.

The instructions say nothing about the RX out. You have to go to the
schematic.
