Not exactly on the 7300 as it would require a second radio for the second
receiver, but many of us have these.

I was looking today at the INRAD RX antenna mod for the 7300, and it struck
me that it should be possible to hook up a second radio to the phono jack
using a RCA plug splitter.  That way, the antenna input from the second
receiver and the RG-174 loop into the same phono plug.  Wouldn't that allow
for normal transceive operation, plus feeding the receiver into that same
jack.

Here is the MOD

Am I right in my thinking of this, or am I missing something?  It seems
like many of the older Icom radios like the 735, 740, 745 and 751 had this
same setup with a coax loop you usually kept plugged into both.
