John and Gery,
The short RCA jumper can be removed if you want to hook up a transverter.
You can also put a Y connector onto one end of the jumper and feed another
receiver with the signal from the output of the transmit/receive relay.
However, you may find (as I did) that the second receiver will affect signal
strengths in the 751A's receiver.
