[Amps] Plate Impedance, ARRL

[GGLL]

	A question comes to my mind after looking K values and working class: K value 
increase as the conduction angle decrease, so am I wrong in stating that AB 
class (either AB1 or AB2) conduction angle is greater than B class?; if so, 
should not be K[AB] greater than K[B]?.
