No I haven't, though I certainly should! When I was in my set up phase for SO2R here I was using a TS870 which suffered when the Dunestars dropped out of cct. Fortunately, Kenwood had put a very low power light bulb in series with the Rx input for protection and it blew before any more serious damage was done. All I had to do was replace the bulb. I am now using 2 FT1000MPs and I don't know if they have any similar protection. I'll look into it when I get some time. Meanwhile, I am relying on the integrity of my wiring and my homemade band decoders to keep me safe!
