- Prompted by Roger, N1RJ, I decided to do some digging around. Aided by isolating specific stages of my receive signal path as much as possible, and using precision 3 and 6 dB pads at various points t

- Hi Paul: I have tried and tested many commercial and homebrew preamps for use on the TopBand (including those you talk about below). Although all of the preamps work - some work better than others. T

- Paul you might want to be careful just shorting the receiver input. This would also put a short on the output of your preamp. This would have the preamp blasted with RF from your TX while trying to f

- Paul, I will agree with Lee. I think the best would be to use a small relay that would open the antenna on transmit and also short it to GND. Nothing touching the Pre-Amp. All Electronics have some v

- Clarification: Actually what I had in mind was to place the short at the input of the preamp. I want the preamp protected too. My only concern is the preamp might want to oscillate with a short on it

- Why not use a DPDT relay as a bypass... This would allow the antenna side to be shorted to ground and the preamp input to be terminated into 50 or 75 ohms via a resistor, or in the "other" position t

- On low bands, I routinely put a small (IE 10 pF) capacitor across the input of RF gain blocks to kill the bandwidth and prevent high frequency oscillations. With this in place, they should be fine wi
