[Amps] Grid driven Multi-band amp using 4-1000

[Jan Erik Holm]

Gain in GG depends on plate voltage and drive power.
If we use the example below 8171 can give 15 dB gain.
That is way more then 12% of full output for the tube.
EIMAC states about 16 kW max output in AB1.
Anyway, this is way too much for ham radio use, don´t
even think about using power levels like this!!
