Scott et al, Take a look at the front end protector by OK1RR: http://www.ok1rr.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.35
It's an updated version of the original CQ Magazine '97 version with parts that I believe are easier to source these days (at least here on the eastern seaboard of the Atlantic). I'm using one of these to protect my FT2000 and SDR-IQ that share my K9AY (I've installed the OK1RR circuit alongside a homebrew BB signal splitter: http://www.dxing.info/equipment/rolling_your_own_bryant.dx). I'm only running 100w and my RX array is about 500 feet from my TX antennas but you can never be too sure. I'm planning ahead as well; I've beverages in my future... Credit & kudos to John EI7BA for making me wise to the OK1RR solution and for supplying the pre-built OK1RR circuit I'm currently using. -- Regards Cormac, EI4HQ [Cork/UTC+1] NNNN++++ _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
