[Amps] Zero signal current 3CPX800A7

[Dennis W0JX]

Don: The zero signal current should be the same as the 3CX800A7.
 
Here is a data sheet for a Svetlana 3CX800A7. The Penta data sheet gives the same numer for SSB.
 
The stated resting current is 15 ma each so that would be 60 ma for two tubes. Nothing is listed in class AB2 for CW. At least the above is a starting point. There are tube curves on the data sheet.
 
My AL-800H has a built in EBS circuit, so my zero signal current is 0 ma.
