Tim There is a partial solution in that I can run a power divider on the output of the LNA so that one route is to RX1 in and the other is to RX2 in BUT...when I push 6M (which is connected to ANT1 on RX1) to RX2 it disconnects ANT1 from 6M even if what you are running on RX1(in my case micowave xvtrs) does not even use ANT1...A software change to leave ANT1 the way it was would be good since I use the xvtr port for the xvtrs and I imagine the VU module has other connections to RX1 that does not require ANT1 to be connected..... When I looked at the schematics last it seemed that this could be made to work in software....May be worth a further look. Best 73 Al LUA
