If the receive antenna is close to your transmit antenna then you will want to think about front end protection in a radio that has two receivers. Most single receiver radios should be shorting the receive line to ground during transmit or taking out out of line. I don't know with the Icom.
You may or may not need a preamp. That is something you can add later.
