Remarkable,

A dual triode with a max plate dissipation of 1.5 watts.

How did this spawn all the remarks from radio police?
Rhetorical question, don't answer.


Think 6GF5 and a typo?


It is a good question, though. From the advertisement,
it is implied that what is being sold is an "enhancement"
for your CB radio.

If it is simply a NIB 6GF7 tube, then all of the supposed
benefits are meaningless, as a 6GF7 is a dissimilar section
twin triode that was made for use as a vertical deflection
amplifier in TV sets. A 6GF7 might have been applicable
in an old tube model CB, but old tube model CB radios are
pretty rare these days.

Perhaps it is a knee jerk reaction to the poster, and the
word CB? Doug Adair, or someone purporting to be Doug
Adair, seems to have a big interest in buying, selling and
using CB linears.
