Hello Mike;
There are a few different "receiver guards" out there. If your receiver guard
is a RG5000HD from DX Engineering, you should be OK. As a test, I have put as
much as 25 watts into the RG5000HD and it did not damage the RX front end.

Subject: Topband: VE3DO loop
Hi Tim
Is my receiver guard enough ‘protection’ from my 160 inv L approx 60’ away from
a VE3DO loop?
Thank you sir!

Hello Ed
There is very little interaction between nearby loops. We are studying
interlaced loops that are 90 degrees to each other for four azimuth
coverage. I would keep the loops at least 25 feet away from other radiators.
Also be careful of RX overload from nearby TX.
