I operate currently with two transmit capable antennas (vertical and
horizontal). When I am operating in diversity mode or perhaps any time I
have the sub receiver on it would be nice to be able to easily swap which
antenna is transmitting (i.e., which antenna is routed to Main Rx.)
So I am thinking a single button (or assigned button) that toggles the
antenna 1 and 2 assignments for the Sub Rx and Main simultaneously.
Unless I am missing something this is the current 4-step procedure to
accomplish the same:
1. Tap ANT (Swaps Main from ANT 1 to ANT 2 or vice versus).
2. Hold B SET
3. Tap ANT (Swaps Sub Receiver from ANT 2 to ANT 1 or vice versus).
4. Tap or Hold B SET to return to normal operation.
Any which way you do this the left and right ear assignments will change. I
kind of keep track by knowing that my right ear is what ever Antenna shows
on the front panel antenna readout. I have to check B SET to see what my
left ear is doing.
