Re: SR2000 cal osc
12.47 volts AC on that tube. It seems to be working. Just not strong on higher bands. Maybe it's because it's out of case? About s6 on 80 meters.

Re: SR2000 cal osc
Just to be sure, measure the ac voltage on the filament of V11. Check CR10 and the cap that feeds it. Check V11B pins 1 and 8 against the voltage chart in the manual. Walt Cates, WD0GOF

Re: An easier way?
Floyd , I wonder if you are tuning on ham bands? If so you might pick up a good signal from station A with a good path to you, but station B might be on the same frequency with a good path to A but

Scott - not sure what you're asking, but I'll assume you're asking about establishing a contact on one of the HF bands.? Many modern transceivers have scanner capability, but I've never heard of

Re: SR2000 8122 MATCHING
More on matching tubes. Burle color coded their tubes for matching purposes. So, IF you get NEW Burle tubes color coded blue you are perfect. Red and green will work but not to maximum efficiency.

Re: SR2000 initial power up
Hi Clark, I have a matched pair of NOS Burle 8122 tubes (Green Dot) that are surplus to my needs if you want to pick up a couple of spares. I tested and de-gassed them in my SR-2000 in June of 2021
