[Amps] 3-500zgs

[Joe Isabella]

  I don't think you want to run it in SSB (4kV) mode with a continuous output (like data or AM).  My 3K-A with RF Parts ZGs will do that, too but the Tubes get pretty bright orange!!  I can get almost 2500W PEP out of it with ~175W drive, but I stick to 80-100W or so.
   
  On AM, I leave it in CW (3kV) and drive it to 375W Carrier.  Seems like it'll make output there aaaallllll daaaayyyyy  looooooongggg...  And the tubes only show a little color.  (You know how us AM'ers are!!  :-)  )

  The two 3-500zg's I put in my Henry 2K Classic X show little color at 1 KW 
on data modes, modest color, dull red to low orange at 1.5KW mode.
The former is with 3 Kv on anode and the later is with 4 Kv on the anode and 
approximately .800 current on the plate. Of course this amplifier had a 
squirrel cage blower with plenmty of air going through.
The grid is showing
