- 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

- 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
