So is there something simple I can do to get more than 1100 watts from =
my L-4B?

  I used an L-4B happily for years with the original parasitic =
suppressors.
  I added a reduction drive to the plate tune capacitor. I also built a =
bigger and better power supply.
  The L-4B was an excellent performer and I only quit it for a model =
that had 160m capability.

    Hi All,
    I am about to re-tube my L-4B and have the same question concerning =
the 3-500Z.   In addition, what mods are available for the L-4?   I have =
read Measure's articles on amps and agree with the soft start and the =
glitch resistor.  I plan to incorporate these when I change tubes and am =
also interested in other mods available for the L-4.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jason KN7AZ
