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). Hmmmm...You think class A at RF requires no driving power?? Cheers, Tom Only voltage, no current. Of course some power gets wasted since resistance isn't zero and some heat is generated in the coils, etc. I guess there is some power factor in the grid / cathode capacitance etc. The input impedance of the '45 in class A SHOULD BE infinite. It isn't, but it IS VERY HIGH. So except for losses, no driving power, only voltage. OK, to get an _accurate_ answer with respect to grid driving power, you need to account for the effects of the electrons going from cathode to plate as they pass by the grid. At high enough frequency, this becomes significant. This is quite apart from losses in elements external to the tube. One reference about this is Terman's "Radio Engineers' Handbook, section 4, paragraph 9. But just consider that it takes a certain amount of _energy_ to push those electrons around and control them, even if they don't actually ever come in contact with the grid. Cheers, Tom Hey OM I guess it's so ez to forget about the law. The law of conservation of energy. You can't create or destroy energy. Physics 101. 73 OM n8zu |
