Roger, it seems that the RX Input relay can be controlled by the same
T/R voltage that switches the relay for the external amplifier and that
this will protect the RX front-end.  See drawing of RF Unit and item 21
page 20 manual.  I assume this means no QSK with external RX antenna, if
this works at all, wonder if anyone has tried this? I talked to Yaesu
USA Tech Service but they did not seem to understrand the question.
