Greetings all,


I was just given a shiny new pair of 4CX350As. I thought of trying to make a little desktop amp for 2M out of them but a quick look at Eimac's web page at the specs make me wonder if this this might be a bad idea. Further, web searches produce a mixed bag of success/failure stories.

Anyone on this reflector ever use these on 2M?

Sure - they work fine in amplifiers like the W1SL and the W2GN. Expect about 500W from the pair, but with stable voltages they can give a very clean signal.


'The VHF/UHF DX Book' is probably the best source of information for VHF power amps using this size of tube. It's still available from ARRL.
