Jim, you are probably going to get as many opinions as there are people willing to post. IF you are going to purchase or build makes a big difference. I prefer Tetrodes as they take less drive, BUT T

Here are my 3 cents worth, following Roger's 2 cents. There are maxims developed over 50 years: 1. The more complex a project is, the less likely it is to get built. 2. The power dissipation of the t

A couple of choices: Three 4-400's in swamped grid or GG will give a reliable 1500W with plenty of overhead even at 2500-3000V. In GG they require 120+W drive for that power if down in emission. Pul

I recall a maxim of some good time ago that postulated power tubes (valves) can be likened to women. One is very nice, two might at first seem like it would be even nicer, however there are pitfalls

I think that you meant 'triodes have better IMD performance'? Keep in mind, though, that many transceivers have much worse IMD than a decent amp, especially if the transceiver has a 12v final. I doub

Hi Jim, I had the same problem, my usual amp is missing 160m as well. I decided to use a single 3CX3000A7 in GG for my 160m amp. The tube is instant on and the cooling requirement is low. With a rela

I haven't made up my mind as to buy or build. If I build, I know it will take me too long to complete the project and I will have a tendency to upgrade components above and beyond what would be adequ
