Well if you have an Omni VII, yes, because there is an option for the O7 to
open the RX ANT line, and connect the two cables to a pair of spare RCA
Phono jacks on the back panel. This was for a preselector but it will work
with the ANC-4 as well.
Just don't use too large of an antenna for the 2nd (noise pickup) antenna,
because it probably isn't switched.
I need to check that.
If you don't have other Ten-Tec rigs, either add this split RX ANT line
yourself, as I did on all of my Ten-Tecs, or you will need to use the
internal relay of the ANC-4, and it is NOT QSK.

Will the ANC-4 work QSK?
Thanks.
