Re: Drake L7 [2 x 3-500Z] power ?
drive it till you get 500-600 ma...using the lower B+? ?(CW) position.? ?Then you will get your desired PO.

Re: Drake L7 [2 x 3-500Z] power ?
1770 vdc loaded @ 565 ma = 1 kw DC input = 625 watts output.? ?600 watts out on upper HF freqs like 15+10m.

Re: Tube forensics...
The RFparts pictures show 6360 Its an equivalent of QQE0312

Re: Tube forensics...
I think you've nailed it :-) The RFparts pictures show 6360's have very distinctive internal structure matching my pictures Many thanks Tim

Re: Drake L7 [2 x 3-500Z] power ?
His problem is he's using the WRONG B+ position. He should be using the lower 1900 vdc ( CW position). That will give him an easy 600+ watts pep out on ssb / 600+ watts CW / Data / FT-8. just 40 ma

Nonsense.? ?I use 10 x 1N5408's in series for bias. ( aprx 7.2 vdc) .? Idle is 100 ma on? 2650 vdc position............? and just 40 ma idle on lower 1900 vdc position.? ?IMD is superb with

Answers to various questions This is an amplifier I bought that had seen little use. When I baked the tubes as a precaution to degas them, using a low voltage, high current, and therefore a positive

Or run a pair of cheaper 4-250"s.

Re: Drake L7 [2 x 3-500Z] power ?
Hoping I don't get beat up for this question. If all you need or can have is 500 watts would it be better running one tube?

Your tubes are dead? 73, Alek VK6APK.

Re: Drake L7 [2 x 3-500Z] power ?
An increase in anode current increases the negative feedback action of a grounded grid amplifier. Gain is also effected by the efficiency of the input and output circuits, 73 Peter, DJ7WW _____ From:

Re: Drake L7 [2 x 3-500Z] power ?
You increase the output power by increasing the drive power. The anode pi circuit is designed for about 1200W output at 2.5kV plate voltage. That output is typical for L4B and L7 amplifiers. 73 Peter

They look like 6360s, 10 watt push/pull VHF PA tubes. I can¡¯t be certain, though. QQE0312 ? -- F1AMM Fran?ois De la part de Mahlon Haunschild - N4ZK via groups.io Envoy¨¦ : lundi 28 avril 2025

Tube forensics...
These tubes were literally dug up last weekend at a former "VHF Telegraphy" commercial site in the UK. Does anyone recognise what they are ? Ideally I'd like to know what equipment they were used in,

Re: Drake L7 [2 x 3-500Z] power ?
Indeed, by increasing the input power, it outputs more. ¡¤ 21.200 MHz 40W -> 700 W 470 mA 12.4 dB 2250 V ¡¤ 7.100 MHz 40W -> 650 W 450 mA 12.1 dB 2250 V We are no longer in a linear range since up to

Re: Drake L7 [2 x 3-500Z] power ?
25 watts is NOT enough drive to get the load control up of full capacitance. ?You need to drive the amp with much more power. ?Once you head around 50 watts the load control will begin to go higher

Re: Drake L7 [2 x 3-500Z] power ?
It seems like the output circuit is off? The higher you go up in mhz the better the efficiency gets. can you see what it looks like on 15?

Re: Drake L7 [2 x 3-500Z] power ?
Make sure the input circuit is lined up with the proper output band. On the input side, it seems fine. I'm driving L7 with an FTDX-3000. I performed a TUNE, forcing the RLY relay to close, and I have
