What exactly do you mean by the term 'gettering'. I know what a getter is,
inside a tube, but I have never heard of being able to getter a tube,
i.e., as a verb. If HV was on when you were in standby, depending on
your cutoff bias, or idling bias, would control the amount of Ip. Could
you explain what the condition was, cutoff bias or some amount of
conduction (like zero signal anode current?). I guess this depends on
how your radio defines 'standby'.
