Hello Phil,
Well, asking for advice is what I am trying to do. Sorry if the tone was a little too stiff. Just trying not to be presumptuous.
Only problem with the resistive path to ground built into the feeder is that I am trying to build the static protection into the device I am trying to protect. It may not always be hooked up to this feedline, and I would like it to stay protected.
Thanks for the feedback. I will probably add such a feature to the feedline in addition to whatever I do with the RF amplifier.
Dave
