Topband: Receive ant question

[Mark Beckwith]

I think a front end protector is some good amount of insurance.  I listen on 
other receivers while transmitting.  I have cooked an IC746PRO doing this 
and it was quite annoying.  It tricked me into thinking everything was fine 
because it worked okay for a good long while, but ultimately I cooked it and 
felt like an idiot.
