A review that was originally published in the Caribbean Contesting
Consortium Newsletter by W8WTS in September 2014. Comparison: DEO RG-2000M
and DXE RG-5000 Receiver Protectors is worth a read. Lots of good info.

Good answer, Lloyd.
One thing I did is put a small incandescent pilot lamp in series with my
Beverages and my IC-765 transceiver's RX antenna input. The lamp functions
as a current limiter and a fuse. After the lamp, there are back-to-back
diodes to ground, which limit the maximum voltage in eithe
I have a FTDX-3000D and the best general info I could find was not to exceed
30db on the RX port. How did you measure the voltage? I built a small square
law detector to measure the voltage on my RX antennas during transmit and
took some reading with full power just to be sure.

That is too much RF power for a receiver input.
"Front End Protectors" are available for this exact problem:

Hi,
I intend to connect a K9AY antenna to socket 3 of an FTDX101D, this socket
being menu configured as Rx input. The problem is I measured about 1,5 V on
the K9AY coax loaded with 50 ohms with 100W forwarded to the Tx antenna and
I wonder if it is safe for the Rx part of the radio. With full powe
Good conditions this morning, quiet band, strong signals from Asia
into New Mexico.
