Topband: Receive ant question

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

If the receive antenna is close to your transmit antenna then you will 
want to think about front end protection in a radio that has two 
receivers.  Most single receiver radios should be shorting the receive 
line to ground during transmit or taking out out of line.  I don't know 
with the Icom.

You may or may not need a preamp.  That is something you can add later.
