Guys,
Was trying to figure out whether this is necessary. (not a big deal but
extracting the K3 from the bunch of connection is a pain)
It appears to me that this mod may be needed if one has two radios and
an A/B switch which has insufficient port to port isolation.
Some hand calcs (assuming an A/B switch with 40db isolation)
A radio running 100 w
B radio attached to the other port
Hand calcs indicate 780 mv possible at the input terminals of B.
S9+60db is 50 mv. It seems like 780mv is high enough to require this
protection mod. (when the K3 is transmitting the B radio would also
need protection.....)
It is not clear at all how the A/B switch isolation is measured and
whether it is db power or db voltage. Yes, some A/B switches ground the
unused ports. Is that included in the isolation figure quoted?
Does anybody have some quantitative data?
