[SixClub] Band monitoring question

[K2UBG at att.net]

     The only way to be sure is to use a 'sequencer' to ground the input to the receiver(tranceiver, in this case) before the transmitter is keyed. A spendy prevention that I haven't dove into yet. There is no coax switch made that I would trust my receivers to and probably not many coax relays that I know of. The cheapest and only strategy in use @ K2UBG is a uhf quick disconnect. Works but not as convenient as methods that do not work.
  Not as convenient, granted but, mailing out radios and I mailed a lot,  is a preventable and inevitable exercise. I do the same at night when I shut down the 756pro3 at night or for lightning. More sensitive means more susceptable.
