Okay, I  took some readings on the AL-811H.
4 new Chinese tubes installed. HV is  1600V unloaded. Drive ~ 70w

BAND   PWR       Ip                Ig              HV
160m     300w      450mA       165mA   1475V
80m         450w     500mA      185mA      1350V
40m   400w      300mA       120mA      1400V
20m          410w      325mA       130mA   1400V   
15m          410w      375mA       150mA     1400V
10m         390w       370mA       140mA      1400V

PWR =  carrier power read on an average reading meter.

Shouldn't I be seeing  more power coming out of this amp ?

Tnx, Hugh  VA3TO




Please explain how you are loading the amp, reading the power, and what you  
are using as a load.  Lou
