[ICOM] Pro II protection needed from nearby transmitter?

[Paul Ferguson]

A ham recently moved into the house next to me. Our antennas are 
about 75-100 feet apart and we both have amps capable of 1 KW.

One evening I noticed that my SWR meter was moving, but my 
transceiver was off. It did not last long, and I did not get a good 
look at it to see the reading. I suspected it was from his signal.

Last night he told me that a second FET in the front end of his TS-
2000 receiver blew out. 

Here is part of a message he sent me:

Has anyone had similar problems with a 756 Pro II or can comment on 
protection in it's front end?
