<On those ICE preamps, check the small dipped inductors, because they

<enough. It has to be behind some kind of feedline relay that opens.

How do you operate QSK with that kind of setup ? Are sped up vac relays
required to open off and / or grnd the remote RX pre-amp ? What if one of
those 8 or 9 circle arrays used ? Each one has it's own pre-amp.
