I've had one of their auto-switching mast-mount preamps for about five years. 
Used it inline with a 746 when I was back in Chicago. It blew up three times 
with RF from my HF rigs. Finally got them to add protection diodes to it, 
which fixed it. It's now patched into the RX loop of the K3, and works well.
