A few thoughts covering several recent posts: Stability with tetrode amps should not be a problem if you use ceramic tubes with the proper bases. More than anything, I think it's the lead length in g

Having the L in the resistor is different from having it in series with the resistor/inductor suppressor. Whether the difference matters is unique to your amplifier and its gain/phase characteristics

I can't help but think that a low inductance Xc=5-10 ohms from cathode to ground would make a big difference to the calculation. Cutting the loop gain by 7-10dB is a good recipe for better stability.

It will depend on the impedance presented to the cathode at VHF. If the capacitance to ground is on the end of a wire and/or bandswitch, it's not going to provide a low Z to ground except where it's

Be wary of manufacturer's comparisons. They're often not entirely like for like. Depends on the amplifier type and design, but the most significant factor is usually the rf device and how hard it's r

Debates will rage over whether it's necessary, but I can't see how it can do any harm. My first reaction is to think it's ready to go - but it's been cold for 8 years. I don't know if there's a risk

Doubtless thay have different specs. from those older ones. There's nothing in the Panasonic TS family rated at 85C to compare with the P11691. Considering a couple of others, both 560uF, 450V, same

How about a couple of 500Wish 12V amps plus a splitter/combiner, so you get reasonable quality at 400W output, then buy some car batteries and a charger once you're there - or take a switch mode PSU
