[Elecraft] Nearby Strong Signal Mod

Hi Rich:

I was (I think) the first non-Elecraft personnel to install the mod and it 
worked LIKE A CHAMP.

I was able to create the problem by applying output from my TS-950 into the 
80/40M dual-dipole which hangs only 3' below my tribander, with both rigs 
set to the same frequency.

Without the mod installed, the K2 reacted just as anticipated.. loud 
shrieks and noises.

With the mod installed, the K2 was silent as a mouse, other than being able 
to hear the transmitted signal from the TS-950... but NO unexpected 
complaints otherwise. And this was with up to 100W output from the '950 
during the test.

Good luck,
