Thanks for the uptake, Rick. Ah, yes... Heat. I picked a really big resistor so I assume it is OK. I will have to check it. The guy who maintains our 17-site repeater system specified the value for m
Ah... so the "plot sickens..." ;-) Thanks for that further gloss. I gotta learn more about diodes. A local Elmer told me to make a voltage divider (like an L-pad attenuator) if I wanted to assure a p
