Scott et al,
Take a look at the front end protector by OK1RR:
http://www.ok1rr.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.35
It's an updated version of the original CQ Magazine '97 version with parts
that I believe are easier to source these days (at least here on the eastern
seaboard of the Atlantic).
I'm using one of these to protect my FT2000 and SDR-IQ that share my K9AY
(I've installed the OK1RR circuit alongside a homebrew BB signal splitter:
http://www.dxing.info/equipment/rolling_your_own_bryant.dx). I'm only
running 100w and my RX array is about 500 feet from my TX antennas but you
can never be too sure. I'm planning ahead as well; I've beverages in my
future...
Credit & kudos to John EI7BA for making me wise to the OK1RR solution and
for supplying the pre-built OK1RR circuit I'm currently using.
