   I'm rebuilding my first HAM amplifier, (a gift from a friend)
but with the Alpha 77DX/SX what happens when there is a tube overload condition,
is there any over current protection?
That is why I am rebuilding my power supply using a solid state "plate supply"
contactor driven by solid state overload logic. (and no antenna no B+)
