[TowerTalk] IC-706 and Receiving Ant's

[Byron Lichtenwalner]

One solution is to add a Top Ten devices A/B switch.  Connect the A output 
to your transmit antenna, the B output(input) to your AY, the RF output from 
your 706 to the input of the A/B switch.  The PTT line is attached to the A 
activation terminal on the A/B switch.

To receive using the AY you will need to ground the B activation terminal on 
the A/B switch. A small two transistor switch can be made to do this 
switching from the ptt line.
