That caution is not restricted to the Elecraft XV series transverters,
but is appropriate for any receiver that uses sensitive devices for the
receiver front end. The XV series uses the AT F 34143 for the preamp
front end. Yes, that is a sensitive device that can be damaged by high
RF input. It is prudent to use means to protect that front end from
excessive RF from other nearby transmitters whether that be an Elecraft
product or any other brand.

Allan,
I am in the process of building the 222 version. Just a word of warning
that I received in an email from Elecraft. Now, the caution about
disconnecting the antenna when transmitting close to the 222 antenna is
going to be a real PITA when working the contests! Removing during
lightning storms is a no brainer!
