Front end overload
 

If I have two rigs on two different antennas that pass within inches
of each other, should I worry about front end overload or burnout on
the rig not in use, even if it is off?

(The two rigs are an Icom 735, about 100 watts out, and a TenTec 1320,
about 4 watts out.)

Tnx,

Fire up the Icom, and connect a meter and dummy load to the other coax. I
once saw 10W.

I don't have an a-la-carte dummy load to try that test, but I'll take
your word for it :-)

Thanks,
