Those transceivers are noted to have that issue. They are very popular
and there are thousands of them on the air today. And we are always
concerned better receivers. How about cleaner transmitters. That
company did correct the problem but only with releasing a new model.
You aren't the only instance of those causing a problem.

One of the worst FD problems I’ve experienced was a Japanese transceiver (I’ve
honestly forgotten the brand) in the SSB tent that transmitted a wideband hiss
whenever the PTT was closed. We couldn’t operate CW on the same band even
though there was no problem caused by his SSB signal.

So was the issue the result of poor shielding and connectors of cables inside
the trailer or actual antenna separation? That would do it.
And could the SSB station be pushing the power and ALC and compression thus
likely causing distortion and splatter? That would do it.
One of my major pet gripes for net control operators and contest operators is
the fact they believe turning things up a bit with the thinking they will be
heard a bit better When in fact they are making their signal more difficult
to copy. If their station sounds good during SSB rag chew QSO's the the same
settings should also be good for contests, Field Day, and when a net control.
The mentality of turning things up a wee bit is just pure B. S.

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.
