A comment on sharing the antenna with the SDR-IQ: I did that with my 
FT-1000MP Mk V some time back and found that I got some hash on 20M fed 
back from the SDR-IQ to the Mk V receive input.  It that approach is 
used, it's probably a good idea to use one of Jack Smith's buffer amps 
between the SDR-IQ and the antenna feed.
