[1000mp] RX ant input protection

[Tom Horton]

I use the RX input occasionally in conjunction with my
QRN Squasher and have never had a problem.
Of course the antenna I use with it is just a low piece of
wire.
I have seen people comment on this here on this reflector.
However, since I never run more than 100 watts, I have not worried about.
