Re: Tube forensics...


 

Amperex had roughly half a dozen of these push-pull tetrode types in their product line back in the day, probably all targeted for the VHF/UHF land mobile radio services.? All were single-ended input, push-pull output.? Amperex even ran a full-page ad in the ham radio magazines / handbooks for them.

The most famous of these (if you can call such a thing famous) was the 5894, which was the tube used in the 100 watt PA in the Motorola Motracs.? I had a 10-watt Motorola Business/Dispatcher that used the 6360 as a PA.

were Tetrode Men."

Yes, it's easy to imagine that development lab had some "politics" that impacted the overall design ;-)
