[1000mp] Important question

[Pete Smith]

When I set up for SO2R, I figured I needed to hedge against doing something dumb, so I built a receiver protector that sits in the RX OUT/RX IN loop on the Mark 5, and run always with the RX ANT button pushed.  It uses a small pilot light bulb (1.5V 60 ma) in series as an indicator and fuse, and back to back stacks of 3 1N914 diodes in shunt.  The first time I made the bulb light, I was glad I'd done it.
