One other thought.

During a discussion yesterday on this group, measurments were taken as to
what the OUTPUT levels were from Ch0.

They were 200mv peak to peak IIRC.

As such, I think I'd want to assume that this would be the maximum level
that any of the ports could handle and would want
to account for.

0.6v (600mv) for a basic diode to start clamping sounds a bit risky to me.

If I'm missing something here then I'm willing to learn ;-)

The output level of a source is not an indication of the damage threshold.
My HP 8720D can output 10 dBm, but the damage threshold on the test ports
is I believe 30 dBm, so 100x higher.
