Default Pardon my QRO ignorance ...

Dear all,

Pardon my QRO ignorance, but always having been a QRP-ish person, but
why is there a grid current meter on high power amplifiers?

Is it to ensure that sufficient grid current is flowing to ensure that the
rectification produces enough grid bias?

Is it to prevent excessive grid dissipation?

Or something else?

Yours in blissful ignorance,

Gareth
