Hi Francis,<br>
<br>
It wasn't a god, but a dog-like creature called Ceberus (if my memory
serves me well).<br>
<br>
In my opninion a combination of resistors and diodes (to the power
suply lines) is the best solution. The resistors will limit the current
and provide some "soft clipping". By soft-clipping all sorts of
distortion generated by the receiver are avoided.<br>

<div>I don't know which Greek God guarded the gate but how are we
going to protect this fast A/D from static and lightning transients?
Racal used an interesting active limiter ahead of the RA6830 because
the older RA6790 had real bad burnout problems with the FETs in the
first mixer. I would think we need more than a NE2 across the input.
