I'm confused.  Isn't the antenna tuner connected to TX antenna?  Are you saying
you don't want to be able to distinguish between the second RX and the MAIN RX?

Suppose I was working cross band and had it the way you want it.  How would I be
able to determine which band I was hearing?  Or if I were to work split in a
pile up, how would I know if that carrier I hear was on top of the DX or on his
listening frequency.  That would really make it hard on the pileup police.

I really would like to know why you want to convert it to mono.  No kidding.
