[TowerTalk] Topband: your opinion about ICE RF limiter

[Alan NV8A]

I see that there are different models for <30MHz and >30MHz. Any idea 
how the <30MHz one would perform on 6m? Since the RX2 input on my 
FLEX-5000A is used for everything through 6m, having two separate RF 
limiters would be a real pain. Does the <30MHz one not protect from 6m 
signals, or does it simply not pass 6m signals?
