Alan,
What do you want tot achieve by making radio B unable to receive when radio
A is transmitting?
This is an absolute must in SO2R operation, you want to listen on another
band for QSO's or Mults
with radio B... you'd better protect it's front end with filters and stubs
imho.

Subject: [TenTec] OmniVI: question about T/R control logic
I now have a pair of OmniVIs and would like to use them in a sort of
poor-man's SO2R. Actually I
believe what I want to do is called SO2V but will actually be with two
radios. What I would like to do
is to have both radios functional on receive, and have the alternate
radio's (radio B) T/R PIN diode switch activated when the primary
radio(radio A) is transmitting, thus protecting the front end of the
alternate radio (radio B). Thus the question: Does the PIN diode
switch activate a) when the key is pressed/entered, b) when the signal
from the QSK loop / amp is returned, or c) at some other time. The
easiest solution would be to use radio A's QSK loop in some way to
activate radio B's T/R PIN switch. As the control logic is inside a
chip rather than in hardware, staring at the schematic does no good.
Any takers for this question??
