If you're worried about burning out the receiver front end, why not test
it? Add a 20 dB (or more) attenuator in front of the receiver and have
your neighbor try transmitting on all bands and antennas. The K3 S
meter is pretty accurate. Just add 20 dB to the reading to see how much
RF is coming down the coax.

My neighbor is a ham, right now I set up a webpage for us to
coordinate what band we are on so that we are not on the same band at
the same time. I originally set this up for field day but it also
works good for us.
We are both CW ops and have not ran into issues yet but, there is
always a but, we both want to make sure we do our best to protect our
equipment which we both have K3's.
I have a beverage that i use for 40 through 160 and i have a front
end protector on my rx input but what about 10 theough 30? I have a
beam and rotatable dipole for those bands so how do i protect my
receiver better on those bands?
Our tx antennas are roughly 300 feet apart, he has a vertical right
now and i have both a vertical and a beam to switch between. He plans
on a beam this summer and it will be the same distance apart.
