Maybe I have not looked at the data sheets very closely , but I was surprised to find a medium power glass Pentode that required zero grid current, thus no drive power in class-C operation. The 4E27,
The RCA data sheet shows the opposite: https://frank.pocnet.net/sheets/049/4/4E27.pdf 73 Peter, DJ7WW Maybe I have not looked at the data sheets very closely , but I was surprised to find a medium po
Note: Zero drive and grid current is only with 3kV plate voltage and as CLASS-C Oscillator or Amplifier. (CW, FM, PM) Notice not the same for 2kV plate voltage but same efficiency. 73 Bill wa4lav ___
You are not required to drive the tube into the grid current region in a Class-C amplifier. The definition of Class C operation is a current flow angle of less than 180 degrees, which is accomplished
Yes I am very familiar with operational classes of tubes. This is the first time that I have seen class C1 in a spec sheet. And besides that it has about the same efficiency as normal class C2. Some
