Now you can add a
dedicated receive antenna to HF transceivers which lack a separate RX antenna
input port - or protect an un-switched RX ANT port on your
transceiver!
The DXE-RTR-1 Receive Antenna Interface* is a unique multi-purpose switch unit which automatically
or manually switches the RF output antenna connector on any HF transceiver
between a separate receiving antenna system and a standard
transmitting antenna. The switching is fast enough - about 4 ms. - to allow QSK
CW operation. In its simplest application, it allows you to add a
receiving preamp to improve reception of those really weak
ones!
The DXE-RTR-1 enables
operators to enjoy the improved reception that a low noise receiving antenna
system offers. Connection to a Beverage, Receive Four-Square, Active
Receive Antenna, and other receiving antennas and accessories is now possible,
safely, only with the DXE-RTR-1.
Requires 12 VDC for
operation, or order DXE-PSW-12D1A
AC adapter.

 DXE-RTR-1 Receive Antenna Interface Instructions(1.8M pdf)
This is just one example
of how the DXE-RTR-1 may be used to interface separate receive antennas or
receive accessories with a transceiver having only a single antenna input.
See the instruction manual for other examples.
