[Elecraft] K3 Sub Receiver and protecting the Sub RX input

[Frank Krozel]

Folks, 

Have we lost track of our senses?  (I never vent so please allow me to do so..)

I like to “trade a lot" and see many radios that have a blown out front end, which usually I can fix.

Most times the victim radio was “on receive” with a shiny new transmitter that was “just being set in place” into the operator position.
Usually the old radio is on an antenna that was in very close proximity to the new one.

Professionally I do EMC work and while I can bore you with the math… ether you connect “something” in line with the old receiver (there are lots of manufacturers out there) … or you leave the old radio disconnected when transmitting.    Not too many radios are designed for 100 watts into an adjacent antenna, let alone 500W or 1kW….

This is NOT an Elecraft issue….

Sorry to vent, I love my K2’s
