Zack,
I use a separate receive antenna for my Flex 1500 and also for my
Flex-3000, which I modified to accept a separate receive input. I'm
using the DX Engineering active receive antenna with an additional
preamplifier and a 4-way splitter to drive several receivers from the
same receive antenna.
If you use a separate receive antenna, be sure to place it at least a
wavelength away from the transmit antenna at the lowest frequency that
you plan to use to avoid frying anything. Mine is about 600 feet away
with some buildings between it and my transmitting antennas. After some
tinkering it works quite well for me, but I live in a rural, low QRM
environment.
