And Jims "assumptions" that a 4-1000A always has poor IMD is just plain
wrong. In AB1 grid driven start off with a set of Ians tetrode boards or
similar before assuming anything.
In GG it will be about 5-6dB better if you get the input network working
properly.

Eimac issued engineering newsletter FCJ-59D2 superseding 59B5 which
set forth an exception for the 4-1000A as a high mu triode provided Ep
is at least 3 KV. It listed typical operating conditions.
