![]() "Uncle Peter" wrote in message ... "Dave" wrote in message ... Frank GM0CSZ / KN6WH Thanks for the input, Frank. I believe this, or something like it, is what I am going to have to do. I've already got the bulb installed in the receiver case, and I guess I'll leave it there to warn me of impending doom, but the resistor idea is what will probably save my bacon. Is a metal-oxide resistor the same thing as a metal-film resistor? Or would that be inductive and mess with my incoming signal? Thanks much, Dave Why would the inductance be of any concern? It would be effectively in series with the resistance, thus raising the device's impedance... I'd think that would lessen the loading on receive or transmit signals. Pete Hello Pete, I was actually thinking something similar, that the diodes would prevent any current from flowing through the circuit so long as the voltage remained on the small-signal level. And if a large pulse did come through, the inductance of the resistors would be the least of my worries. Any interferrance it caused in my receiver would be brief and likely go unnoticed. Does this sound plausible, or at least somewhat predictive of likely real-life events in the case of a static charge coming down the line? Dave |
