You may be on the right track building a switchbox for a rig you like a lot.
the TS-2000 has an RCA jack for RX antenna and (I think) some menu options
for it, but I haven't used it.
Didn't get a chance to work you on the 160 contest last weekend as I was
also working s and p. I did stay up long enough to get Calafornia and Utah.
Also a VP5, but could not work any of the Europeans. Only heard about 5 of
them.
