Anyone else having problem with Ten Tec Rx-320 blowing front end
FET's?

I've never had the problem my self but have heard others complain about
having problems. One individual said that TenTec soldered a resistor across
his antenna to ground (don't recall value) when he returned his for a blown
FET.
I purchased mine just after TT put them on the market and never leave it
connected to an external antenna while I'm away from the house and always
ground myself before messing with the antenna. RM~

PS, Wonder if having all those radios connected to same antenna (if I read
you right) at the same time might be a contributing factor?

That's probably it. One time I had my DX-392 and B&H connected to the same
antenna. While tuning the 392, the Bellow & Howl screeched and the FET in it
died.

Unfortunately, a replacement FET, actual or sub, is not available, so I just
used what I had plenty of spares of, with resulting reduced sensitivity.
