[Elecraft] continuous relay click in RX ANT IN

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

I found in my shack a Front End Saver http://www.radio-ware.com/products/fes.htm  that I never installed.

Seems is similar to this made from ICE, at least will add extra protection to the K3, what do you think?

Or it will decrease the RX signals I can receive in the K3?

Thanks,
Jorge

I had this going on too and a really slick way to fix the problem is
with an RF limiter...

I.C.E. makes a very cost effective unit that gets the job done very
well...  I ordered the 196 unit and then I didn't want to have it with
RCA connectors on it so I asked them to build it wit the BNC connectors
like they do on the VHF unit.  They had no problem with that and did so
no extra cost.
