[1000mp] RX ANT

[George (K8GG) & Marijke Guerin]

Yuri, et. al.,

Theoretically the RX Antenna jack is disconnected when transmitting, but 
some FT1000D and FT1000MP transceivers, etc., and some Icoms do get RF 
feedback from their RX antennas and have blown out part of the front end of 
the receiver section.

It is best to get a Front End Saver - FES - either build one or go to Gary, 
KD9SV or via Craig at the Ham Radio Bookstore.
