I've heard stories that it's possible to damage transceivers during
use. Can anyone explain to me the kinds of things that can kill a
rig? I'm thinking about buying my first one and I'm a bit paranoid
that, in the process of learning the ropes, I'll damage the thing
somehow. I'm from a fairly technical background so I understand
things like...uh, don't run it without an antenna, or a decent ground,
or without an antenna tuner....etc. But what else can happen? Can
anyone offer a newbie some help/advice? Thanks.
abit paranoid is good

one relax take a deep breath

trwo just face the facts you will **** up here and there but the rig
will most likely survive

three if some seems wrong shut down

I repeat SHUT IT DOWN NOW


And if you hear Mark Morgan on the air, do not respond. I repeat, DO NOT
RESPOND.
The guy is a kook. A genuine, out in left field, kook.
