[AMPS] PA-77 musings

[Jim Barber]

Phil,

>I use a 12 volt zener in an application like this. 180ma or so idling.
>'I buy my 50 watt zeners from Silicon Alley.

Thanks.  I was guessing 12V, (and remember seeing a confirming
design somewhere) and that helps.  Do you use a transistor 
switch, or a relay?  I ask because of the voltage drop across
the transistor.
