Each tube is capable of producing about 2kW with roughly 80w of drive.
There is no grid current rating. Tune for max. out with max. drive and
the grid current will be okay.
- The 3cx1200a7 has much feedback C, so don't expect the amplifier to
exhibit good VHF stability. If you experience arcing at the C1
bandswitch wafer, it might be a good idea to reduce the VHF-Rp of the
stock suppressors.
- The 3cx1200 A7 has been superceeded by the 3cx1200 Z7, which has 1/10
as much feedback C.
