[TenTec] Corsair II Rx Ant jack

[Duane - N9DG]

Keep in mind though to use the Corsair RX port to feed a
second RX you then need a means to mute that second RX during
the Corsair's TX. The isolation isn't all that huge between
the two antenna ports on the Corsair. I'm guessing that it is
not any more than about 30 dB.
