You can transmit within 3 seconds of power on but shucks, it seems like 
all that power cycling on and off will do more damage to the filament 
than just leaving it on for 3 hours.  Eimac's specs rate the filament at 
20,000+ hours  -  i've got some 3-400Zs that are nearly 40 years old and 
they still work very well - i've had the amp on for days at a time.  
Heck i'm just picking nits.  hi
