Looking at GW4FRX's measurements, I wonder if the IMD you measured owed more to the screen supply than to the tubes themselves? The old Was that the new version or the older one in the diecast box? S

Looking at the Eimac data it doesnt appear that the VR tubes had much effect but that was back in my BC days. Im guessing that they did their measurements with VR tubes also. Later testing did show i

I ahev a feeling that although at HF, the application of negative feedback to significantly improve the IMD is practicable, doing so at VHF might be somewhat different. Other than unbypassed cathode

That rating is for AB1 SSB service, 2KV@ 250ma is the listed typical operation for one tube as with all in the straight 4CX250W family. Carl KM1H _______________________________________________ _____

Pushing a 4CX250 to 470W pep output is absurd and it's no surprise that the IMD is awful. It's totally unrepresentative of proper use of the tube in linear operation. Collating all the info. we've b

The tube is being tested in AB1, ZERO grid current, therefore Eimac is not overdriving it. They are simply showing the degradation when the tube is run at its TYPICAL rating of 2KV. I have no idea ho

4CX250B run quite well at 1500V anode voltage in the Racal TA1800 to drive the 4CX10000D. One 4CX350A works as a wide band pre driver, two in parallel are the tuned driver tubes. The amp is run with

Same for the Collins 204C. Both the 4CX250B pre driver (Class A) and the 4CX250B driver (Class AB) run with 1500 VDC plate voltage and drive the 4CX5000 final tube. Cheers, Dick PA3DUV W6DUV ________

OK - it was a figure of speech. Please substitute 'at 470W' for 'with massive overdrive'. and at much higher output power. The IMD goes bad because the tube is being pushed to deliver too much power,

That is correct. People are comparing an entirely different set of parameters, not just a voltage increase alone. It is the output power increase that is largely responsible for higher IM, although

You guys are not reading the spec sheets right. As to power at different voltages, they show a maximum plate current of 250 ma at 1500 volts and also at 2000 volts. Of course power is greater at the

Those last three sentences make absolutely no sense. Input power is 500WDC, Output is 470W PEP, not key down CW. I'll use CW since some seem to be getting confused with single and two tone reference
