Default Re: "hf fuse" for sg output protection

Actually, these seem easier to find than I thought. There's an example of the N connector version (TM5753) on eBay UK at the moment and there's examples of both the BNC connector version (TM9884) and an HP N connector equivalent (all with spare fuses!) here.

The fuses are 1/16A (62.5mA) produced by littelfuse, though my bit of paper with the type number on seems to have been mislaid. However short, fat fuses (1"-ish long but same diameter as 1.25" fuses iirc) rated at 62.5mA, as Robin says, aren't easy to find!

Having said that, I also agree with robin's point about using an attenuator.
