Reverse RF Warning

Just installed a ALE hardware transceiver running on a vertical, the 6500 is running on a longwire, both have SGC-235 tuners at the feed point. I am getting the attached warning when ALE transmits. Is this RF in the shack or the proximity of the antennas? any thoughts would be helpful.

Probably proximity -- how far apart are the antennas & what is the power level? You may need to reconfigure.0
-
You are getting more than 100mW of power into the receiver and the radio is disconnecting the receiver from the antenna. It is most likely coupling between the antennas. I would use a power meter to find out what's up before transmitting any more ...0
-
Thanks, I believe it to be coupling also (not the answer I was looking for). The vertical is 10' from the long wire. Will reconfigure.0
-
Reverse power protection kicks in between +18 and +22 dBm depending on frequency and whether you are in WIDE or narrow mode.0
-
Does this also hold true for the 6300?0
-
Sorry for not being familiar with this feature, but will it 100% protect the radio ?0
-
Yes, it does0
-
The failsafe is not guaranteed to be 100%. There is always some delay between detection and the disconnect relay engaging. In general, it will protect the radio, but if you receive a cascade of the messages like shown above, you should stop transmitting or physically disconnect the antennas from the 6000 ASAP.0

Thanks Tim. I currently only utilize one antenna but the plan is to incorporate more in the future and wanted to understand this feature better than my current knowledge base.0
