[Amps] Project for 8122 tubes

[jeremy-ca]

The military used them at UHF in cavities.

You could also look at the various 4CX250 VHF/UHF Handbook and magazine amps 
for circuits. Then adjust RF circuitry for the different values of the 8122. 
The 4CX250 series screen ring capacitor, Johnson 124-113, fits the 8122. The 
8122 uses the same socket as the 8873, 8874, 8875, 3CX800 and is readily 
available from several amp manufacturers.

The 8122 has a very fragile screen. Use protective circuitry and keep the 
voltage at no more than 350 with a 2500V Ep. A Es of 300 is fine with a 2000 
Ep.

The Johnson 6 and 2 Thunderbolt uses 4X150's and is a decent circuit to copy 
for a 2 band amp. The manual is on BAMA.

Ive used the 8122 for over 40 years and it is a good tube as long as care is 
taken to protect it.
