Hi, I need some advice of the group if this 3cx800 is beyond revitalization. Working on an old SSB electronics 70cm PA with a single 3cx800 in grounded grid configuration. Original bias/control circu

Try running filament only for at least 24 hours. Then run idle current for several hours at a safe level of no arcing.. Finally inject a little RF at a time and hope the tube has been regettered and

Tnx Peter/Carl/Bill, Tube is now on with heather/blower, let's see what happens next Friday .... 73's Carel, pc5m Try running it with filament volts only for 48 hours - apparently the getters on the

Hi, small report on my 3cx800 project... After more than 24hrs heather on (didnt dear to let it running unattended overnight...) first test did show indeed improved vacuum ! flashovers started at hig

Congratulations on the salvage work Carel. I suspect the negative grid current is due to the tube being run above its maximum rated frequency at HF voltages; I seem to remember Steve, K1FO (SK), ment

Carel, negative grid current is usually caused by lower than optimum drive power. My understanding of grid dissipation is volts times amperes; either polarity. 73, Gerald K5GW In a message dated 8/24

The negative grid current issue is covered in our 432 amp manual. I will have to consult it to see what Steve claimed was the cause. I remember reading it. Apparently it is only on higher frequency t
