I'm still a little confused here. I thought that a higher mu tube
(higher gain) would require more bias to hold it to a specific current
(idle?) and that a lower mu tube (lower gain) would require less bias to
hold a specific current. Can you help me understand where I am missing
this?
Thanks and 73,
