[Icom] Using IC-745 Receiver Output Terminal

[Bill]

You can connect a y connector here and insert another
receiver.  Check with rig on dummy load for any
induced "birdies"... if there are none in your
favorite section of the bands, you are in business.

you will loose some sensitivity due to splitting the
signal; this will be inconsequential.


transmit energy does not appear at the RX connectors.
