 I use the RX IN/OUT to accomplish several things here on the MPs.
 
 1. Provides a path <outside of the main XMIT RF> for a pre-amp.
 
 2. Provides a path <outside of the XMIT RF> for bringing the RCVE
 only antenna line into the MP.
 
 3. Provides a path <outside of the main XMIT RF> to insert a protection
 circuit to make sure the other MP+AMP does not damage the RCVR.
 
 Another use of the RX OUT could be to run the MAIN antenna to
a separate receiver ...
 
 That help?
