[Elecraft] XV-50 LNA problems

[VR2BrettGraham]

There are parallels here to two-radio operation for radiosport at lower
frequencies.

Bandpass filtering not only keeps dangerous energy from blowing
things up, but also makes it possible to operate on >1 band
simultaneously, not hear phase noise from the other rig, etc.

And unless VHF activity exploded in the Pacific NW since I left,
for those times one goes out on your own, you're then one radio away
from having a lot more fun than you would otherwise have.

Same filtering could also be moved over to the full-blown station in
the multi-op situation Greg described.

For the power levels & distances involved (in wavelengths), this should
be a piece of cake when at HF folks are pumping 1.5 kW into one
driver of a triband yagi whilst listening on another driver of the same
antenna on another band (separation being a dozen or two of
centimeters at most).
