I see 3CX3000A7 amps with no suppressor at all. How stable have any of you
found this tube to be? Anyone have one take off on them with no suppressor? Or
should I include one just to be safe?

Subject: Re: [Amps] Size of Parasitic Chokes
The YC-156 doesnt use a socket and hasnt shown any need for a suppressor.
With a spectrum analyzer its rather easy to spot a parasitic and then design
whats needed. Many of the big triodes are extremely stable. Tetrodes respond
well to grid suppressors, adequate screen bypassing and with a Carborundum
style plate suppressor.
I cant say what these big tubes are like on VHF but Id be tempted to build a
rather big cavity for 6M to get around the output C problem. I believe that
is used on the FM and TV frequencies.
Is it worth the bother?
