[Yaesu] 6LB6 in FT-101E

[Frank Mayer]

Carol,
I tried the 6LB6 tubes yesterday.  I neutralized them as per the manual on 10 meters.  The tubes are a used set I bought some time ago.  They are supposed to be good.  Anyway the output was low, less then 50 watts on the upper bands and just fine on 160, 80, and 40.  They did not oscillate and seemed to neutralize fine.  I'm just wondering if the low output was due to weak tubes or due to incompatability.
