[1000mp] Re: Beverage Antenna & MP

[Thomas Giella KN4LF]

Bill,
  Check your FT-1000MP schematic and you will see how easy a beverage antenna can collect enough signal from your transmit antenna to blow the receiver front end.
  KD9SV sells some good gadget's to prevent the problem from occurring.

  Bill,

  I may be a bit dense, but what is the supposed problem with using Beverages
  or any other type of receive only antenna on the receive only antenna port?

  I have two MP's with which I have used separate RX antennas exclusively for
  Top Band the past 6 years or so, including both trips to XZ.  I have never
  had a single problem.  Please enlighten me.  Thanks.

  Milt, N5IA

  The first question that the fellows at Burhardt asked was if I had been
  using a beverage. Around the same time I had put up a 500 foot beverage for
  160.


  4. Watch out for those beverages.
