[TenTec] Separate receive antenna for Eagle.

[Carl Moreschi]

There's a much easier way with no relays at all.  You would end up with 
a spdt switch to select the receive only antenna.

Inside the Eagle, you will find cable #2.  This cable carries the 
receive signal to the Eagle receiver.  All you have to do is cut this 
cable and bring the two connections out of the back of the Eagle. One 
end of the cable would go to the common of the spdt switch.  The other 
end of the cable would to the normally closed contact of the switch. 
The receive antenna would go to the normally open contact of the switch.

That's all you need.  No relays at all.
