According to my Eimac shortform the 4CX250R and the 7580W are the same
tube. BTW the R stands for "ruggedised" it can withstand a lot more
vibration and shock than a standard 250. However the plate, screen and
grid dissipation are the same as a normal 250 and have the same typical
output power. Eimac catalog for the 4CX250B/7203 & the 4CX250BC/8957 both
give typical output power of 300W at 175 MHz in AB1 operation.
In summary:
4CX250B/BC anode 250W
screen 12W
grid 2W
4CX250R anode 250W
screen 12W
grid 2W
What's the difference?
