Hi Mike-Yes the default is RHCP.  I found LHCP was necessary to hear Arecibo, when switching to RHCP the signal disappeared.

This was my experience with a KLM 435-40CX and no preamp into a 
FT-736R.  I had to energize the relay on the antenna in order to hear 
them.  I assume it's RHCP normally, and LHCP when the relay is energized. 

I actually had better copy during the SSB portion than the CW, but am 
not sure why that was.
