[AMPS] 3CX800

[Steve Thompson]

I'm puzzled by some bits of the data. There is a lot of emphasis on the
600mA max. anode current, but under pulse conditions 1A for 200ms is
allowed, 2A for 10ms and 8A max. on short pulses. If it has this much
cathode, why the restriction at 600mA?

Similarly, up to 3500V at the increased currents is permitted in pulse
use, subject to keeping the AVERAGE currents and dissipations within the
same limits as for cw/SSB use. Why does the recommended operating
condition place it so far inside current/voltage/dissipation capability?

Thanks, Steve
