Why would you want to enable these? Normal radio devices should never use
these, so why would sdr devices?

I though it might be good idea to select possible antenna input. I have one rtl2832u prototype which has 2 physical antenna connector, but on the real life input selection is not needed even on that case as antennas are hardwired to different tuner inputs => selection is done according to frequency. Almost all modern silicon tuners has multiple inputs, whilst device has only one physical antenna connector.

All-in-all, it is not needed now and I can remove it without any noise if you wish. It is trivial to add later if really needed.

Antti
