Graham,
A current limiter on the PA is not a good idea. That would be the
same as overdriving the PA and causing "flat-topping". That causes all
kinds of spurious responses in your transmitted signal.
You would be much better off just fusing it so an over-current
condition is stopped and will notify you when it happens.
My opinion, YMMV.

Well... my UbitX came Mar 5/18.. Was ordered Dec 20/17.. Serial # is
728/02 . Raduino serial # is 805/2 . I am putting it in a Banggood
case. I am also going to use a larger heat sink on 510's and put a
current limiter on the PA power line. That might help. The 8222 IC is
FCI one so should be safe. I am very impressed with the package and
the plastic box. Now the fun begins ! Graham
