Default Using insulated backstay for A) Navtex rec. and B) ssb-transc.

Hi ng,

The boat came with a Fastnet Radio FMD55P navtex-receiver, using a
passive antenna: the insulated backstay via a Balun.
Now I installed a ssb transceiver + tuner and connected the tuner to
the backstay. The navtex receiver is not in use at the moment cause
I'm sure the transmitting power of the ssb wil fry it.

Is there a way to solve this cause I would like to use the navtex
again,.It has no possibility for an active antenna, just passive. I
would like to use the backstay for both now I "heared" about a switch
that immediately switches off the connection to the navtex when it
senses ssb-transmitting, Any thoughts ? Every reaction will be highly
appreciated.


Regards, Len
