[TowerTalk] FT1000MP

[Bill Axelrod]

Bill,

     I'd appreciate some info on the outboard switch you use since I've
never used one and may want to.  Do you switch in on or off every time you
transmit?  Or is it controlled by your key line?

Thanks and 73...   Bill ND9E

John, I think you'll fnd that most people using the receive jack are using
some type of outboard receive antenna switch to take the receiver out of
harms way. I have damaged the receive section by not using the correct
switching.
