[TowerTalk] Antenna proximity--problems with rx overload

[M K Miller]

As a result of a " senior moment ", I just fried the receiver front end
of my FT-1000D. I was transmitting with the other rig on an antenna
which is spaced only 15 feet from the main slopers, which of course were
tied to the FT-1000.

I looked back into the archives, but find no notation of anyone doing
the same dumb thing.  Has anyone had the misfortune to inadvertently zap
a 1000 receiver in this manner, and if so, how bad a job is it to repair
?

Thanks, 73,
