Comment on "Strong transmitters" near RTL-SDR.

Keep the transmitting and receiving antennas a few wavelengths apart to prevent damage, farther if you’re using an amplifier. You can transmit right next to the RTL-SDR with an HT if you disconnect the antenna from the SDR. It will still receive the signal from across the room.

Can you define few? Because with 2m wavelength it can make a big difference lol. Like 3 wavelengths?

I wouldn’t go any closer than 2 wavelengths. 3 or more would be preferable.
