First of all, thanks to Tom for his informative info on the procedures,
etc.
Here is what I propose to use for small tetrodes; critiques welcome.
Sig Generators: A pair of HP-608F
RF Pads: KAY or Daven step attenuators with a 100dB range. Known
accurate.
Combiners: HP
Power Amp: Boonton 230A. This is a linear amp that uses three
3CX100A5's to boost signal generator levels to roughly 8W maximum over
the range 10-500MHz.
Monitor Rcvr: Either a TS-940 or a 51J4 with VHF converters as required.
Monitor Meter: HP-3400A true RMS
All of the above is already here in the shop. All I really need is the
actual tube test fixture. I suppose this could also be used with some
brick VHF amps.
Am I missing anything??
