It will not work it will default to the sane antenna each time. I tried
it.

Subject: [ICOM] ic 746 antenna switching

I have an Icom 746 non Pro. Just a plain IC  746.  It's got ant. ports
on the 
back but not an aux. ant.  one.
......
I just put up a 160m OCF dipole. I was thinking of building a
beverage/loop 
to rx with.
.....
I thought of a sorta' crude way if it's  possible. Use the split freq 
provision. Put the tx ant on vfo  B  [  ant1] & the beverage/loop on vfo
A. [ant 2] 
Just as u wud work split chasing  the TX5 or something. It would require

matching the freq.s but I think it could  be done. 
....
Is there a better way on the IC 746 ?
