[Amps] 4-1000A in LK2000

[Radio WC6W]

Hi Dick,

The LK2000 was designed to be compatible with the 4-1000A; All the grids are grounded.

A 4-1000A, in strapped GG, doesn't have quite the gain of a 3-1000Z.

An experimental fellow might add a touch of negative grid bias and some screen voltage to match the operating point & gain of a 3-1000Z whence the input impedance would be essentially equal.  Said supplies would need to provide considerable current as operation would remain in AB2.

Probably easier to just tweak the input networks.

A couple of references for this discussion...

The schematic of the LK2000 may be seen here:

The operational data for a 4-1000A in GG may be viewed via this link:

73 & Good morning,
