Ameco makes the PT3 preamp that will do that exact thing after
modification. They will supply the modification info and parts (piece of
wire, switch and relay) to be mounted on the PT3 circuit board.The unit
is RF activated during transmit to go only on your TX antenna and then on
receive you can select between TX or Beverage antenna. Also, you don't
have to use the preamp part of the PT3 unless you want to.
Good luck,
Ralph, W1ZK
