However, I have always used a KD9SV front end protector relay accessory to keep RX signals out of the transceiver when transmitting and listening on a second antenna. They are available from DX Engineering in Ohio, USA. Originally this was published in a magazine years ago. It has a small high speed relay that opens or shorts to ground when the tx ground contact is closed on any transceiver.

Good but I think the protector is a good idea. Will look it up. 73!
