So I can have my Tx pot turned almost off and it switches to the normal Rx for receive.  I haven't tested this with the Tx working, as I have yet to complete the HV power supply for the T-22.

Hi John,

What you are doing with the "TX sensitivity" pot should work perfectly 
in conjunction with the grounded receiver antenna terminal. I have used 
it before and will be using it again. I sorely miss full break-in QSK 
and I mean to get it back.
