Hi Ron,
But it seems that 833A/GU48 are not good above 40m band. And it seems that are unstable as well.
So, looks like 4 x GU81 grounded grid, used as triodes, are the best deal, in monoband design for 20m band.
Needs more input but for me is fine since my radio gives 200w and I have one more amp if needed.
Now I need some schema to follow, and levels to use.
Thank you anyway.
73, Maximo - EA1DDO
