A 0Ω (zero-ohm) shorting stick can damage an amplifier since there is
virtually nothing to limit peak discharge current. If a 1000-ohm or
so, 100 to 225 watt resistor is added in series with the shorting stick
to limit current, there is less chance of damage. Rich Measures, 805.386.3734, AG6K, www.somis.org _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/amps |
