These are neat units, and seem to work very well.  A somewhat trickier case 
is the one in an SO2R station, where you might be listening on the Beverage 
while transmitting on the other radio.  I asked this question on the 
towertalk reflector a bit over a year ago and got a variety of good 
responses.  Try going to www.contesting.com and entering the title 
"Protecting RX in SO2R" in the list search field.
