[Yaesu] FT-1000MP Dual antenna operation

[Jim White, K4OJ]

....you could also use a "DPDT" coax switch or "transfer" switch... I 
have a B&W like that... I do not know the isolation on this type of 
switch however and wonder if having 1500W going near a wafer that leads 
to the RX ant jack is a good thing...  I use a grain of wheat bulb 
protector in line with the signal path just in case things get too "hot" 
on the R coax.
