Gents,
Some radios, like the IC775, have a nasty surprise
when the radio is operated in the split mode. As I
remember it, when the "receive" VFO is set on the DX freq,
it supposed to be turned off/attenuated while transmitting.
True, it's down about 50db. The surprise is when the attenuated
signal is run through a KW amp along with the "normal" TX
freq. There's enough signal transmitted on the DX station's freq
to easily cause QRM!! It gets worse when on say, 10m.
