If the 2nd rx pre-amp can add sufficient gain, then a resistive divider on that input will add a good degree of protection. Receive-only aerials often have their own pre-amps, so there might be plenty of gain in hand. Coax to the 2nd rx should still be protected against common mode current.

Lyle and company,
To be clear are you talking about using another transmitter other than the K3's transmitter and external amplifier? This is my reading and I am
just checking.   Thank you.


Both. I believe the OP asked about the sub RX and the K3 transmitter I broadened the question because I blew out the front end on the K3 while testing another transmitter. Either situation speaks to how much the K3 receiver can take from external RF. But some solutions such as putting protective devices in front of the K3 sub receiver will not work of course when the situation involves the K3 main receiver and an external transmitter.
