That is only true if the grid input circuit is guaranteed to be able to
soak up all possible levels of drive without allowing grid current...
** So you are essentially saying that if the grid terminating resistor
is blown away by the exciter, the grid driving potential could rise to a
higher level and grid-current could flow? Although this seems possible
with exciters that do not have an SWR-foldback, I have not seen such,
Ian. Have you? Would not such a scenario require that the
grid-terminator be grossly undersized?
