Here's a simple request from one op who is interested in amps. PersonalThe W8JI-AG6K dispute that existed on AMPS - and previously on rec,amateur-radio.homebrew was not grudge based, it was based on electronic theory. W8JI's position was that AC circuit-analysis was inaccurate when analyzing VHF parasitic suppressors, that Ni-Cr alloys had reverse skin effect at HF, and that even though a DC current pulse could ring a HF-resonant circuit, it could not ring a VHF-resonant circuit. I did not agree and said so. If we really want to support ham amplifier work, thisAllowing newcomers to believe that W8JI's above statements are correct is productive? Let's take our flames back to the NNTP world.Telling people what to do is hardly good form. The straw that broke the camel's back was when Tom censored my post about why the TL-922 switches faster from Tx to Rx than it does when switching from Rx to Tx -- which could help to explain why so many 922 owners experience parasitic arcing when switching to Rx from Tx.

Funny, the YC-156 TRIODE has 3 times that gain in GG.

I never tried driving the grid but in gg it is close to X15 when motivated by a pair of UTC CG310s on the high taps. I've read your article a number of times on the on you did Rick. Frank wa1gfz

Can Grid Dissipation in metal GG triodes be increased ????
pentalab
Gents
On these 3CX-6000's and also the socketless version [ YC-243], I fool with from time to time, Eimac/ Svetlana state's the grid diss at 225 Watts CCS. [3CX-3000A7 is also 225 w CCS grid] Now, since the tube(s) can be operated in either GG OR grid driven.... it occured to me that in grid driven mode... the grid should still has a 225 w CCS rating ??? The point here is..... in GG service... you bolt this huge grid ring to the chassis.... and in the case of the socketless version.... an even bigger diam grid flange is bolted to the chassis ! Now... that alone should heatsink the grid ??? Since the grid is sitting in a vac... the only way for thermal heat to escape is via the grid flange. Since the below chassis compartment is pressurized... one might think the actual grid dissipation can perhaps be increased via this heatsink action ?? [GG mode] Am I out to lunch here ??? Later.....

Tnx, PAUL. Sounds like two Panasonic switcher supplies would run an 8877 om SSB.

Others may give you a different take on the idle current, but nothaving a copy of that handbook I would think that is for 2 tubes. ZSAC (zero signal anode current) for AB1/AB2 is generally adjusted to give about 1/2of the rated dissipation of the tube(s).### The PR version will handle sky high plate voltages... like 10-30 KV. ### In GG... with around 7 v of zener bias.... and 4800V... I was seeing around 70 Ma ZSAC. [single tube] ### A small SPST CENTER OFF toggle switch and a string of diodes will provide 3 x bias positions..... and a rotary switch is the ultimate set up. I also found that the vdrop across the string of either 1N5408's or 6A1O's [ 1 kv - 6 A.. 400 A surge] diodes increases from aprx .7 V to almost .8 V when current thru em increases from 200 ma to 2 A. ### I installed 7 x 1000 uf lytics in parallel [7000 uf] across the entire mess of diodes...... resulted in superb bias regulation. Just beware... the wire leads from the diodes IS the heatsink for the diodes. The 6 A diodes run luke warm with 2 A CCS thru em. Later... Jim VE7RF
