[Amps] Surge resistor

[Rick Stealey]

Thanks for all the great responses to my question about glich resistors.
I had no idea there was so much info available for such a simple question.
Especially Tom, W8JI, you pointed out something I had not
taken into account - the energy stored in the filter caps can be dumped all
at once into the amp and this could be hundreds of amps.  I had been
thinking in terms of steady state currrent from the power supply.
Also I did not take into consideration the 50 ohm resistor could do its job 
without
exploding.
Thanks again to each who responded.  I am off to download the Eimac notes on 
the
subject to complete my education.
