Bob, This is an easy one! Since we are now dealing only with receivers, the issue is merely how to feed two receivers their respective signals without any degradation from the original condition. This calls for a classic application of a receiver multicoupler. Ideally, the input signal is fed

You should see about 350-500 milliwatts going to the pa deck and the bias/control line must be connected properly to the station frame. Many times I see these stations for sale at hamfests with the jumper wire allowing the pa to run only full-tilt-boogey, which is why they crash and burn so often
