[Amps] Need for input tuning circuit

[Bill L. Fuqua]

That works. 
I had a 6L6 as clamp tube in my pair of 6146B ampifier since I was using plate modulation.  But did not use in for larger amplifiers.

There needs to be a capacitor across the grid resistor that is charged during 
the period that grid current is flowing.  If you have a parallel tuned input 
circuit from grid to ground, the blocking capacitor that keeps the bias from 
being shorted out by the coil performs this function.  Or you can have an RF 
choke connected to the grid in series with the grid resistor and a bypass 
capacitor connected between the junction between the choke and resistor and ground.
