[Elecraft] RX antenna protection

[john at kk9a.com]

I am aware of the RFI warning however to me there is a huge difference
between detecting RFI and protecting the expensive transceiver from RF
damage.  Apparently the K3S does both.

See page 63 of the manual.  Also page 70 under Receive.    "*HI RFI* 
warning:"

RFI DET - *NOR *enables detection of high RFI at the antenna in receive 
mode.  (see HI RFI warning. *Troubleshooting*). Set to OFF to disable 
the warning.
