[Elecraft] Rec antenna protection

[James Bennett]

Bill,

I use that AS-RXFEP device and am 100% satisfied with it. I have run 550 watts from my K-line system, through 110 feet of 600-ohm ladder line feeder to an 88 foot long doublet at 45 feet. My diversity receive antenna is a ground mounted Hustler 5BTV (with radials) that is only 25 feet from the doublet. The COR clicking is a thing of the past for me. I also installed an MFJ dual-position coax switch in that line so that I could transmit (bare foot) into the Hustler, if so desired. The switch allows me to bypass the RXFEP when I transmit into the vertical. Anyway, I think you'll be quite satisfied with that Array Solutions device.

73, Jim
