I have no experience (yet) with the MFJ box, but my ANC-4 is a very nasty 
key-click generator if it is in line with a transceiver. I suspect the 
carrier detection for the T-R switching.

If I am correctly reading the text you quoted, it appears that DXE has 
decided to sidestep this problem rather than solve it by not providing T/R 
switching. That is unfortunate. Lots of pretty good radios (for example, the 
TS850) lack a separate input for a receive antenna. 

While I'm glad to see DXE come out with what looks to be a better engineered 
version of a very useful product (I trust Tom to do a top quality design), 
I'd be happier if it worked with my radios and the way I use them.
