[R-390] in rush current limiters

Sat, 21 Dec 2002 22:31:14 -0600

The ebay solution is *convenient* though. It is also portable.
Could use it with several receivers.

On the subject of convenience versus price, does anyone have
a good schematic for a solid state ballast similar to what Chuck
Rippel sells for $50. Yes, converse to what I say above about
being convenient, I have several 390A's that I would like to fit with
some sort of similar item. I may end up just buying them from Chuck,
his are stable and RF-quiet.
