John: I think I recall a post here where someone had blown up an XV front end in a rover setup by transmitting on an adjacent band (as I recall at the 100-200 W level). There's just one tuned circuit in front of the preamp FET in the XV's, so bandpass filters wouldn't be a bad idea.
By the way, I will probably be including my K2 in my VHF contest rover setup this year (it got its start in the Ontario QSO Party this past weekend, on HF). It's so much nicer to operate than the current HTX-100 IF rig !! I'd be interested in any observations of how it stands up to being beaten about on dirt roads and such. The slug-tuned coils and the toroids supported only by their leads make me a bit nervous. 73, Steve VE3SMA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
