Rich, wouldn't this only be applicable during the initial inrush of current
at power-up and that a step-start circuit should limit the inrush of current
"somewhere close" to that of a resistive load? Or, is the C-input effect on
AC current seen on full-power CW mode for instance, where the current demand
rapidly changes with the activation of the key?
