  --  There is no max. grid-I rating on 3-500Zs or 3-400Zs.  The max. 
grid dissipation for a pair is 40w, however, provided that it isn't 
being driven beyond the max anode-I rating of 0.8A, if a g-g amplifier 
is tuned for max P-out, grid dissipation will always be reasonable.  
The reason for this is that diverting more electron flow to the grid 
requires detuning so that less than optimal power out results.  Thus, 
when P-out is max, one can relax.
-  The type of amplifier that requires a grid-I meter is: Class AB1 
grid-driven, not Class AB2 cathode-driven.

Whenever I tune my SB-220 or TL-922,, I fully drive it to 0.8A because 
I know that if I drive it to less anode current,  RL will decrease and 
I will have a mistune when I drive it to full PEP.
