receiver desensitizing process

I just got my TH-F6A a couple of weeks ago, but haven't really used it yet.
A few days ago, I tried to test the TH-F6A's receiver by using one of my
Midland GXT 400 GMRS/FRS radios (supposedly puts out 4 Watts
maximum). I set the GXT 400's power output to low (3 settings are
available -- High, Medium, and Low). I then tuned the TH-F6A's A-band
receiver to the frequency corresponding to GMRS channel 1 and transmitted a
couple of times with the TH-F6A about a foot or so away from the GMRS radio.

Well, just a few hours ago I learned about how receivers can be desensitized
by nearby (I hate it when I find out about things like that after the fact).
So now, I'm worried that I have just ruined my brand new rig.

I'm wondering how the desensitization process occurs -- does maximum damage
occur during the first few hits, or is it a more gradual process?

The massive croos-posting would suggest this is a lame'ish troll.
