I haven’t been following this, and just noticed it, so I hope I am in sync with this.
Just a note to say that years ago, I had a B&W Electronic Antenna Switch (I think it was called) that had one or two tubes in it. It worked perfectly to bias the receive completely and immediately as soon as transmit was detected. It allowed full break-in for CW work. I would like to see something like this again today in solid state. I think this would be the ticket for what you need. I haven’t looked, so I don’t know if anyone is marketing such a device.
