I would NOT run 3.9 kV on a GU84b, that is way too high, I have used the
GU78B and I wouldn't run that much HT on a GU78B and it is a considerably
better tube.
Look at this http://www.nd2x.net/gu84b.html . I would go for an RL of around
650-700 ohms for a GU84B with 2.2kV @ 2 amps. I know that the VHF guys have
had bad experiences running this tube with high HTs, they go bang quite
easily. Of course they will run to 2.75 to 3kW output without exceeding
ratings too much.
