No I don't but there will be a small rg174 cable going to it. I know
the sub-receiver is on the top near the back.

Thanks Carl< I will take the cover off and see if I can find the main
receiver, do you know if it is on the bottom or top of the chassis? Toby

You want to take the antenna in connection at the main receiver, and
bring that out to the spare jack. Then make another jack of some type
and return to the main receiver antenna connection. This will give you
a receive loop out and in.

Rick, thanks for the information. I think using one of the 13v
connectors along with the spare on the back looks good to me. I will
have to figure out where to break the receive line, and the rest should
be easy. I don't see how the AUX RX ant could work without
complications.

Toby brings up a good point.
If you are afraid to drill a hole in the back of your radio, then
there is
another way I have used in the past.
The Ten-Tecs usually have two jacks on the back panel with +13vdc.
Just cut the internal line to one of them, and use it and the SPARE
for your
two jacks.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT USING THE EXT ANT JACK!
I don't have time to work through the schematics now but as I
recall, the
Omni VI's RX ANT jack was not protected and you had to remove the
antenna by
some external means to prevent damage to the radio. MIGHT BE WRONG
HERE.
It was a long time ago that I was using it, but I know I built an
external
device with a reed relay in it and used it for protection. I think I
used
it with the OM6 but perhaps it was used with some other rig.
And if the OM6 worked that way, maybe the ORION does too.
CHECK IT OUT BEFORE USING!

Terry,
I am trying to imagine in my head how this is going to work. I believe
you
are referring to the AUX RX receive antenna.
IF I use this connector and it's cabling to make a break and insert
the ANC 4 into the line, I would have to have the RX ANT turned on the
front panel at the same time as I have my TX ant ANT 1? Does the keying
relay for ANT 1 work to switch RX ant at the same time? I assume so.
OK, since by turning on the AUX RX ant, I am depriving myself of being
able
to use the main RX/TX antenna on ANT 1 since the RX AUX ANT is being
switched in. I am not wanting to TX on the AUX RX ant and if the RX
ant is
switched on that is what would happen ( unless I have this all wrong
with
my logic....(.where is spock when you need him)
Terry???

There is a receiver input already on the back panel. There is a spare
RCA jack on the rear panel (many use it for LP-Pan interface).
