I talked with Rudy this evening and he says the DX-4SP still uses a pair 
of GU84B's.

Man, that thing is a monster with a separate power supply that has a 
total weight of nearly 196#
The RF Deck is the same cabinet that houses the RF Deck and PS for the 
DX-2SP and DX-3SP.

Wee bit out of my price range though.  OTOH I may pick up a couple of 
the GU84B's and build something. That'd be a great tube for the W6PO 
2-meter amp design except the tube sockets alone cost more than many pay 
for 3-500Z's<:-)).
  Then again the 3CX and 4CX3000's we've been talking about  could be 
set up to run class A and still put out the legal limit.  There I 
go...dreaming again.
