Suppressor grids have very few wires per inch compared to the control grid or
even the
screen grid. The primary electrons from the cathode should be not be affected
enough
to be an issue. Secondary electrons have very low potential energy and are easy
to
deflect. The problem with secondary electrons occurres when the screen grid is
more positive than the plate and are drawn from the plate to the screen grid.
That is where the dynatron region exist.

As the suppressor grid is normally grounded and serves as a shield to
prevent secondary emission, how would this affect running the tube in
grounded grid...if at all?
I would think it would tend to lower the gain in GG, but that's just a
guess.

Its no different than an 803, PL-175A, etc. Add about 50V to the suppressor
to increase the gain a bit. Most dont want to bother with a LV supply.
