I can offer a little help.
The FT1000D second receiver front-end module has a small rf sens relay
built in but the trip point is set way too high to do any good.  I
modified the circuit so that it would trip the relay before the front end
overloaded.  The second receiver never overloads nor do I have to worry
about a rf burnout.
