Thank you for all the responses to my question. I believe my amp has an
issue, not the setup I'm using. I tried driving the amp with my Triton with
the same result. I recently had to replace the tubes, so maybe I have a bad
one. That would explain why my grid current exceeds 150mA at ~100-150watts
output.
Thanks again,
Glenn

little input as you can, and then increase it gradually.. At least, that's
what it says for the 811H. I run a Jupiter (Without the ALC Hooked up to
the amp) and have no problems at all putting 50 Watts into the 811 and
getting 850 Watts out of it on 40M.
