Hello Mike; There are a few different "receiver guards" out there. If your receiver guard is a RG5000HD from DX Engineering, you should be OK. As a test, I have put as much as 25 watts into the RG5000HD and it did not damage the RX front end.

Thank you sir! 73 Mike, K7XH Hello Ed There is very little interaction between nearby loops. We are studying interlaced loops that are 90 degrees to each other for four azimuth coverage. I would keep the loops at least 25 feet away from other radiators. Also be careful of RX overload from nearby TX. 73 Tim K3LR Sent from my iPhone _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
