[Elecraft] K2 rx ant question

[n6wg at comcast.net]

Vic
Make up the little 2 transistor keying switch that Elecraft posts on their site.
It works great.  Use it to key a shorting relay on the input to R2.
It will be activated before rf leaves the K2, and released after rf ceases.
That should be all the protection you need.
Good luck and 73
