[Amps] GS 35B

[jeff millar]

Note the phrase "grid driven".  None of the nd2x.net QRO GS-35B, 
including DL4MEA, amps uses grid driven. 

It would be an interesting choice with less drive power  required.  But 
probably a lot more than for a tetrode due to the high grid current that 
GS-35 Amps ususally run.  The voltage swing has to remain the same, but 
the drive current drops from plate current plus grid current to just 
grid current....about from 600 mA + 150 mA to just 150 mA.

Approximating...that means the drive impedance rises by 4x and the drive 
power drops to 1/4 and overall gain rises by 6dB...from 10-13 dB to 
16-19 dB.

All this assumes the builder can arrange the components and neutralize 
the thing...but that was the original question...
