A/B Switching
I recently put an A/B switch between my FT-1000 MPV and my IC-746 to
make comparisons between receivers. I would now like to leave this A/B switch in line, as I would like to use one radio for CW, and the other for SSB. The IC-746 is known for having a sensitive front end (easy to damage). I am running 200 watts from the FT-1K. The A/B switch grounds the unused port. My fear is that the FT-1K will damage the front end of the IC-746, even as the IC-746 port is grounded. I have to assume, no matter how diligent I think I will be, at some point in time, both receivers will be on the same band, near the same frequency. Is it probable that the grounded loop to the 746, being 1/8 inch from 200 watts, will survive without damage? Has anyone operated an IC-746 under these conditions? Win, W0LZ |
