[Elecraft] continuous relay click in RX ANT IN

[Vic K2VCO]

I made an even more cost-effective one: I put a couple of diodes in parallel (anode to 
cathode) across the connector in the old coax switch I use for receiving antennas. I wrote 
"FOR RECEIVE ONLY!" on the switch in big letters.

Oh yes, I also put an ancient low-pass filter between it and the antenna so it would not 
become a VHF harmonic generator!
