Lets say our rippy doo amp is running 5 kv plate AB2 GG. The plate
Z = about 12.5K at idle current..Now at "berserko speech", as Rich
would say, 1 amp of plate current the plate Z = 3.125k. What's up
with the output spectrum??? How do I match to this thing??
What plate Z should I design around??? Near as I can see it
varies from >12k to < 3k over the speech envelope!!
