The 4CX1600U is a coaxial base tube. You build the socket from finger stock
and the various cavity parts required for proper operation.
I have run one on 432MHz moon bounce for several years and can say it will
do 1500W output while loafing along. Up to 2500w output is possible.
Most of these tubes have been on the shelf several years and need
conditioning to put into service safely.
That is another subject, though.

Came across a 4CX1600U for sale on eBay, item number 260460157717 at a
very low
price. Is this too good to be true?
This tube is similar in ratings to the no-longer-available 4CX1600B. Has
anyone
had any experience with it? With the price on eBay, this might well be the
best
bang for the buck available on the Amateur market.
There is some question as to what socket will fit it.
