3650 VDC is a good voltage. Anything up to 4000 is routine. You're
right that gain depends strongly on voltage.
I built a 432 amp with a bit under 3000v at load and it has low gain.

Gurus!
I see a wide variation in anode volts on GS-35b designs. The
pattern seems to be lower Va on VHF, higher Va on HF.
A trend I see, is lower gain on lower Va (2200Va/10dB) and higher
gain (4000Va/13-14dB).
I'm building a 2M VHF amp with this tube, and I already have a
3650VDC supply that will deliver 1A. I would VERY much like to
dual-band this amp on 6M, if I could manage that. There are a few
publicly-available designs doing the dual-band trick.
Any insight? I'm not foolish enough to think I know better than
Drago et al, so I am reluctant to abandon the many recommended
designs and depart from clearly stated numbers, especially
exceeding Va by 50%
I only have 100W drive (TS-2000), so I would really like to be in
a position to be able to (or have to) reduce drive for the safety
of the amp or the power supply (or the coax lol), or at the very
least not be in the opposite scenario with not enough drive and
everything running stone cold.
Many thanks for your engagement.
Steve
