In tuning high power amps, a CW signal will drive the watt meter to a given level while reading the PO on the average watts scale of the meter (Autek WM-1). Then switch the watt meter to "peak", and

Peak and average power for a CW signal is identical. A lot depends here. First of all how good is your peak reading meter? How fast is it? SSB voice peaks are pretty short. My Daiwa has a peak hold

If you have a single tone on SSB, the peak is equal to the average. If you have two equal, sinusoidal, non-harmonically related tones, then the PEP is four times the rms. The 'average' power indicate

? peak power is related to anode supply volts. When the anode begins to draw heavy current, the charged filter C initially delivers a bit more volts for a mS or so.. ? HV sag depends on duty cycle.

Two problems here: 1.) I'll agree that the peak power HANDLING capability of the tube can be related to its anode voltage. But to me the peak of a particular signal is based on the level of the inpu

I wonder how 'True', the rating is, though. It maybe that they take the 1 minute rating as peak, and the 1 hour rating as average. There's a fair bit of difference in the two, and that's taken advant

The real problem with the peak reading meter is that most of them don't. If it cost less then 300 bux, it doesn't read peak no matter what the ads say. It's real easy to buy crap these days. 73, Larr

Gain is reduced when HV sags. I've seen as much as 10% The tube also draws less current, because HV is less. So 1 amp peak plate current giving 1500 watts at 3500volts will Not so on the power. Nor

No. The tube draws maximum current when the plate volts are minimum, and the grid the most positive (which may not necessarily be positive with respect to cathode). So it's swing that gets cramped -
