Unless this is a quirk of LTSpice? |

Also, the short circuited current setting will have to be a fair bit higher than the expected normal current draw to avoid voltage droop. |

As the Base to Emitter voltage increases with increasing output current, the CL transistor starts turning on gradually at first. This is what would be causing the voltage droop. |

Well I think this is the final version! All seems to work well. I included 2 other versions with a more linear & tighter voltage adjustment. |
