[AMRadio] AM Transmitter Advice??

[ronnie.hull]

Larry
for years I used a pair of 813's in grounded grid and drove them with a
ranger. It produced great sounding audio. I still have that as my backup to my
globe king.

813's are great tubes. The only drawback for me is I like to operate on ten
meters and 813's are shakey at best, up there.

good luck on your project, Iknow you will enjoy it.
