Even with it's 'hard vacuum' the 01 didn't have as good a 'getter' as

later tubes and would arc over with more than 130 volts or so. It was
used as a transmitter before the type 202 tube became widely available,
but was a QRP thing, less than a watt input.


Will it have enough output to drive a 245?


I'm sure it will drive a neutralized 245 to provide some gain.
You might not get enough drive for full power output from the 245.
(even if the 245 was run in class A, which requires NO driving power
you would still see SOME power gain).
