Jonesy is correct. Actually, I'm not familiar with this exact model
klystron, but have worked with a lot of very similar ones used as the local oscillator for marine radar receivers. The base pin arrangement, which is an obvious "octal" base scheme variation includes one extra long pin. You can see it in the photographs. That pin is the klystron oscillator's output. It is actually a radiating "probe", sort of an antenna that protrudes right into a microwave "cavity". The 2K25 or RK25 was a common WWII surplus item that Ham experimenters used as an "X" band RF source. It's output frequency was a little higher than 9ghz if memory serves me right, and could directly feed a microwave "horn" antenna for transmission. It is tuned in two ways. Coarse tuning was done by turning a square headed screw on the "grasshopper", the outboard metal junk hanging on the side of the metal envelope. Fine tuning was by adjusting the voltage on the top cap. Cathode?? Oh, yeah, the tool used to coarse tune this little hummer must be insulated. Lethal (or nearly lethal, in my case) voltage is right on that blasted square headed screw. Lynn, W7LTQ |
