Peter DF3KV brought up a good point about Orr "meaning" that the tube should
do 2 to 2.5 times the plate dissipation in it's actual usage at rated
spec's. His example is proof to that fact. I took the statement to mean 2
times
or more of the tube "rated" dissipation. The only reason I brought up the
subject was that I have personally seen a 3-500zg tube do 1500 watts output
with
100 watts of drive. Yes, the plate current was way high no doubt, the grid
current was high too but the tube made the power without flattening out
before it reached that point. It's about time we had some action on here.
Now we
can all go back into hiding again. Lou
