[Amps] 3CX3000F7 idle current

[philk5pc@tyler.net (Phil Clements)]

>   On my grounded grid, cathode driven 3CX3000F7 linear with 4800 volts on the
plate my zero signal plate current is 500 mills.  Should I be adding a little
bias to bring it down a bit?

Ken...I would bring it down to c. 350 ma. This will reduce the heating of the
ham shack, and be right on the Eimac recommended ZSAC for 4800 volts Ep.
