I leave it off unless I know I need it. And if I do need it, I put in a filter - either a bandpass for the interesting stuff, or at least an bandstop to squish the commercial FM band.

Just curious to what people do with the amp, do you run it most of the time and not worry about frying it due to nearby transmitters? I’m in two minds as in I would like to use it as much as I can because it makes a huge difference, especially when driving and monitoring the ISM bands but at the same time I worry that a strong transmitter nearby might damage it, I mean is this really the case even though It might me few hundred mhz away from a strong transmitting station.

 

I read one story where someone has destroyed the amp but that was because it was connected to a satellite dish or something like that (can’t remember the full story) are there any other cases where someone has destroyed the amp?

 

Thanks

Tom
