Raj's suggestion of two back-to-back 2n4148 diodes between K1 pin 12 and ground?puts them only in the receive signal path. ?That seems the ideal spot.?
K1 pin 14 is in the transmit signal path, a
?relatively low level signal from the exciter into Q13.Perhaps you were looking at K2 when you suggested pin 14?
K2 pin 14 is only in the receive path, but does not have the benefit of the impedance of that long trace from K2 to K1, which might keep the diodes from blowing.
