It's another one of those damn TV sweep tubes, which folks have pressed into RF service. They are nearly unobtainable because the bootleg CB guys have blown so many of them up. Which is really too bad, because they made super pass tubes in regulated supplies and good HiFi outputs when trioded. Not to mention insane power in PP pentode as a geetah head :-) Cheers, __ Gregg |

Not to mention insane power in PP pentode as a geetah head :-) When I was a kid, everybody was converting military and commercial surplus radios over to use sweep tubes instead of expensive transmitting tubes. These days, everyone is converting ham rigs intended for sweep tubes over to use transmitting tubes, because sweep tubes are so expensive. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
