The TS-830 has the ability to do a separate receive antenna
without modification. Look at the Transverter jack (DIN8/262) -
pin 8 comes from the T/R relay and pin 5 goes to the receiver.
Add a jumper between pins 4 and 1 to prevent the screens from
being shut off, turn on S19 (enable transverter) and build up
your antenna switching network. A single SPDT switch can
provide Norm/RX selection or a rotary switch can be used to
allow selection of "Norm" (TX ant) or several low noise
antennas.
This brings back memories of 25 years ago <G>.
