[ICOM] IC756ProII Receive Antenna

[Dick Wilborg, W1ZC]

There is a box that will protect the Aux receiver port available off the
shelf. It is called the KD9SV "Front End Saver"  Works excellently for that
application!
See Radioware & Bookstore at http://www.radio-ware.com/
Look under KD9SV preamps...

Yes - the Rx antenna is just that, while the transmit signal will go to the
appropriate Ant 1 or Ant 2.  I use a beverage as you describe, and have had
no problems with running an Alpha 87a at the full limit.  One of my
beverages passes within 30 feet of the tower, which supports the 160M
antennas.  Although I've had no problems, I have considered (and may
install) a relay to switch out the Rx antenna, as it does stay connected to
the system during transmit, from my understanding.  Interested to hear what
others have to say.....
