Currently, when setting up ADP to use an external source, For ANT1 you have a selection of RX1 and XVTR1. For ANT2 you have a selection of RX2 and XVTR2.

I'm using a KPA500 amplifier with my 8600 by means of a 4O3A 1A2R switch box. https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/o3a-4o-amp2r-n?srsltid=AfmBOoqhnHJvoSxM0q2DokUzZ3jjHS4VtC2cJxEZd72HVs0yp5BfRkdb

I'm taking the sample from right at the output of the amplifier. This means that I may transmit from the radio with either ANT1 or ANT2, and when I do so, the RF from the amp is at a single point - the output of the amplifier. The way things are now, I have to take the sampled output from the amplifier and split it (Y cable) into both RX1 and RX2. Not only is this unnecessary cabling, but I loose the use of one of my RX ports.

If I could select RX1 for both ANT1 and ANT2, then I could use RX2 with one of my transverters, but they way it is now, it feels like this isn't a FLEXable as it could be.
