Javier,
The relay in the RIP-1 is rated at 1 or 2 kV DC breakdown -- proximity to
the TX antenna should not be a problem unless you are right on top of it.
My own Beverage installations have been as close as 75 feet to an inv-L, and
I have two users of K9AY Loops that added the RIP-1 because the loops are
30-40 feet from the TX antenna. These are all high power (500 to 1500W)
stations.
Also, the RIP-1 does not ground the antenna during transmit -- it
disconnects and "floats" both the shield and center conductor of the coax.
My recommendation is to try your idea and see if it works!
73, Gary

Hi,
Basep upon that my Rx antenna is grounded using the AY technologies RIP-1
module each time I am transmiting how close may I locate it from the Tx
antenna?
A Bev could be installed using pvc coated cable directly over the ground?
Thanks for your comments,
73's de Javie
