Good morning, Bob . . .

We normally use 75-100 feet separation between dipoles aligned end-to-end, and have had no problems over the years.  However, last year we were limited to less than 50-feet separation and I noticed the Carrier Operated Relay (COR) in my K3 was kicking on occasionally from the SSB station with which we (CW) were obliged to share a trailer.

I tried a TRP-150 for the first time on the air this morning and a station in Michigan detected no clicks, truncating, or other aberrations.

We'll see.

With stations running 100 watts or less and reasonable antenna separation, I've found no reason for a Receiver Input Protector. Although, it might be a good idea to circumvent a "screw up" by an operator.   I've seen some mighty strange things done by knowledgeable hams at Field Day.

Have any of you used Ameritron's "Receiver Input Protector" model TRP-150?  I find no reviews on eHam.
